Furthermore, the energy sector, in particular the oil sector, is a sector providing a substantial source of revenue to the Russian Government. Therefore, Murtaza Lakhani is involved in an economic sector providing a substantial source of revenue to the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine.

In particular, 2Rivers Group controls a large proportion of the vessels in Russia’s so-called “shadow fleet”. Regardless of its change in name and ownership, 2Rivers Group continues to operate the same network as Coral Energy, which includes associated entities such as Nord Axis and Bellatrix, as demonstrated by the connection between the previous owners and the new management. Furthermore, the energy sector, in particular the oil sector, is a sector providing substantial revenue to the Russian Government.
