It will not come as a surprise that this the lowest number of deals for the region in the ten editions of this report that we have published. Then again, after a year characterised by the COVID-19 pandemic, in which deals were protracted, postponed or simply abandoned, it is probably not as bad as many of us may have imagined. While deal numbers in Q4 remained subdued, we experienced the highest deal value for the final quarter of the year South-eastern Europe was quite stable overall with We also take a look at the region’s IPO activity.

  • March 31, 2017 VIA ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION the Honorable
    March 31, 2017 VIA ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION The Honorable Dana Boente Acting Deputy Attorney General U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20530 Dear Mr. Boente: Over the past few years, the Committee has repeatedly contacted the Department of Justice to raise concerns about the Department’s lack of enforcement of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (“FARA”). I write regarding the Department’s response to the alleged failure of pro-Russia lobbyists to register under FARA. In July of 2016, Mr. William Browder filed a formal FARA complaint with the Justice Department regarding Fusion GPS, Rinat Akhmetshin, and their associates.1 His complaint alleged that lobbyists working for Russian interests in a campaign to oppose the pending Global Magnitsky Act failed to register under FARA and the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995. The Committee needs to understand what actions the Justice Department has taken in response to the information in Mr. Browder’s complaint. The issue is of particular concern to the Committee given that when Fusion GPS reportedly was acting as an unregistered agent of Russian interests, it appears to have been simultaneously overseeing the creation of the unsubstantiated dossier of allegations of a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russians. Mr. Browder is the CEO of Hermitage Capital Management (“Hermitage”), an investment firm that at one time was the largest foreign portfolio investor in Russia. According to the Justice Department, in 2007, Russian government officials and members of organized crime engaged in corporate identity theft, stealing the corporate identities of three Hermitage companies and using them to fraudulently obtain $230 million.2 The $230 million was then extensively laundered into accounts outside of Russia.
