Andriy Portnov

Андрій Володимирович Портнов

Portnov is alleged to have cultivated extensive connections to Ukraine’s judicial and law enforcement apparatus through bribery. He has been accused of using his influence as the former Deputy Head of the presidential administration under former President Yunukovych to buy access and decisions in Ukraine’s courts and undermine reform efforts. It is alleged that in 2019, Portnov made efforts to control Ukrainian judiciary, influence legislation, place loyal officials in senior judiciary positions, and purchase court decisions. That same year it is believed that Portnov colluded with a high-ranking Ukrainian government official to influence the country’s higher legal institutions to their advantage and influence Ukraine’s Constitutional Court. Portnov also attempted to influence the Ukrainian Prosecutor General during his own criminal proceedings in 2019. While the EU, Norway, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Luxembourg, Monaco, and Liechtenstein have lifted sanctions against him, he remains on the Canadian sanctions list and was added to the US Global Magnitsky list in December of 2021.
