Not to be confused with…

The party below shares a name or other identifying details with the entity on this page, but our research indicates it is a different party and is NOT the party named in the listing above. It is shown here to help investigators avoid false matches. This is a protective clarification, not an allegation — nothing here implies any connection to the sanction, wanted status, or conduct described on this page.

  • Nikolay Vasilevich ArefyevPublic office-holderRU

    Also recorded as: Nikolaj Vasiljevitj AREFJEV · Николай Васильевич АРЕФЬЕВ · Nikolay Vasilyevich AREFYEV

    A member of the Russian State Duma (b. 11 Mar 1949), separately sanctioned by the EU (since Feb 2022) and listed on the US OFAC SDN list.

    Why the mix-up: Shares the identical surname АРЕФЬЕВ/AREFYEV with the EU-listed CMRBank banking executive; both are Russian nationals independently designated under EU Russia sanctions, so a surname-only screen surfaces both as a separate ProofAML corpus record.

    How to tell them apart:
    • Different given name and patronymic (Nikolay Vasilevich vs. the listed Ruslan Georgievich) and a 25-year DOB gap (11 Mar 1949 vs. 20 Mar 1974)
    • State Duma legislator, not a banking executive -- no known link to CMRBank or CMRBank Abkhazia
