Biography
A friend of President Vladimir Putin, Arkady Rotenberg was once his judo sparring partner.
In the late 2000s Rotenberg became an owner of SGM Group and Mostotrest, now two of Russia's biggest construction contractors.
Both companies were targeted by EU sanctions in 2018 due to their participation in the construction of the Crimean bridge.
Rotenberg was also the target of U.S. and European sanctions in 2014.
In 2019 he sold SGM Group to a Gazprom subsidiary and agreed to transfer his shares of Mostotrest to a joint venture with state-owned Vnesheconombank.
