Boris Rotenberg and his older brother, Arkady, are co-owners of SMP Bank.The Rotenberg brothers were hit by U.S. sanctions and had assets frozen in 2014 because of their close ties to President Vladimir Putin. The U.S. Treasury claimed that Putin had awarded the Rotenbergs billions of dollars in contracts with Gazprom and for the Sochi Olympics.Unlike Arkady, Boris was not subject to European Union sanctions because he has Finnish citizenship.
Boris is vice president of the Russian Judo Federation. He sponsors the SMP Racing Project, which supports young Russian drivers.In 2018 Finnish Defense Forces banned Rotenberg from building a guest house on his site because it is located near a military base.
