The Russian owner of the properties is Viktor Vekselberg, one source told CNN. Vekselberg has close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Another source familiar with the matter said multiple raids happened simultaneously in New York City, Southampton, and Florida, targeting multiple designees from the US Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control .
Vekselberg is a Russian national and the founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Renova Group, according to US court documents. Vekselberg has a history of allegations and lawsuits lodged against him in various jurisdictions due to his business practices, according to the documents. In 2018, Vekselberg was sanctioned as one of seven Russian oligarchs designated by the US Department of Treasury's OFAC in response to what it called"worldwide malign activity.
