Sanctions-linked corporate chain in state contracts: a gap in beneficial-ownership checks
The BIRN analysis (via Tirana Times) links Strabag-linked payments (about EUR 23m, 2019-2022) to a sanctioned owner through a holding company. If the beneficial-owner check failed, this would match the expert concerns about the Albanian beneficial-owner register and the McGonigal/Deripaska file already in the dataset (case-mcgonigal).
Evidence for
- Tirana Times reports that Rasperia held the Strabag stake and was sanctioned in 2022.
- Expert commentary describes the Albanian beneficial-owner register as self-declarations.
- The McGonigal case already in the dataset involves work for Deripaska.
Evidence against
- Strabag denies any business relationship with Deripaska and says it was not barred from operating.
- The article says it does not establish direct benefit to Deripaska.
- No contract, award or SPAK file is named, and no abuse of office is alleged in the article.
