Mikhail Kontserev is the General Director of Public Joint Stock Company (PJSC) TransContainer. PJSC TransContainer is a Russian transportation company and Russia’s largest railway container operator. PJSC TransContainer revenues increased throughout 2023 and it recorded an increase in transit traffic in the second half of 2023, which was primarily due to the flow of Belarusian cargo through the ports of the north-west of Russia. PJSC TransContainer has also agreed to offer its services at the new terminal of the Alabuga Special Economic Zone (SEZ). The Alabuga SEZ has been cooperating with the Ministry of Defence and Logistics of the Iranian Armed Forces to locate the production site of Shahed loitering munitions (the name of the Russian version is “Geran”).

In addition, PJSC TransContainer participates in illegal weapon trade schemes with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) in support of the Russian Government. In 2023, shipment containers owned by PJSC TransContainer were spotted en route to Rajin port, DPRK. Containers from PJSC TransContainer were also spotted at Tikhoretsk Ammo Depot, which provides supplies of various types of ammunition to the Russian armed forces. Tikhoretsk Ammo Depot, a strategic storage facility located around 400 kilometres from the border with Ukraine, supports operational munitions storage facilities for the Russian armed forces closer to the Ukraine front.
Therefore, Mikhail Kontserev, in his capacity as the General Director of PJSC TransContainer, is supporting materially the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine.

Dimitry Aleksandrovich BELOGLAZOV
(Дмитрий Александрович БЕЛОГЛАЗОВ)
Function: Businessperson, owner of LLC Titul
DOB: 18.2.1968
Nationality: Russian
Gender: male
Dimitry Beloglazov is the owner of LLC Titul (based in Russia) which established a subsidiary, Joint Stock Company (JSC) Iliadis (based in Russia), to acquire Oleg Deripaska’s share in the International LLC Rasperia Trading Limited (“Rasperia”, based in Russia). Rasperia owns 28,5  million shares in the European company STRABAG SE. Those shares were frozen because Rasperia was controlled by Oleg Vladimirovich Deripaska, an individual subject to Union restrictive measures.
Oleg Deripaska coordinated a complex evasion scheme with Dimitry Beloglazov to sell the frozen shares of STRABAG. To that end, Beloglazov’s company LLC Titul established a subsidiary, JSC Iliadis, which acquired Deripaska’s share of Rasperia, and thereby also the frozen STRABAG shares. Deripaska received an equivalent economic benefit for the sale of Rasperia.
28.6.2024’;
Dimitry Beloglazov and the involved companies LLC Titul, JSC Iliadis and Rasperia used this scheme to sell, outside the Union, a non-Union company controlled by a listed person and owning frozen shares of a Union company with the sole purpose to lift the freezing of those shares in the Union, thereby circumventing Union restrictive measures.
Therefore, Dimitry Beloglazov is facilitating infringements of the prohibition against circumvention of Regulation (EU) No 269/2014.
