Czech Republic Checks the Assets of Boris Obnosov, Subject of an ACF Investigation

May 30, 2023

The Financial Analytical Office of the Czech Republic is checking the assets of Boris Obnosov's family. Obnosov is the head of the Tactical Missiles Corporation, we told you about in our recent investigation. His closest relatives own luxury real estate and a whole collection of sports cars in Czechia. They bought these assets with money earned from contracts with the corporation, whose missiles are now being used to bomb Ukrainian cities.

Obnosov's daughter Olga Zorikova and her husband Rostislav own a collection of sports cars worth a total of 103 million rubles (€1.2 million). At least one of these cars is registered in the Czech Republic. They also own real estate in Prague worth more than €8 million. This includes an old four-storey mansion in the center of the city.

We appealed to the Financial Analytical Office, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Czech police requesting them to check these assets. Shortly thereafter, the Czech authorities informed us that they had initiated an inspection. We hope this will result in the Czech Republic and other countries imposing sanctions against Obnosov's relatives and seizing their property. People who make money on the war in Ukraine should not enjoy the benefits of the Western world or reside in Europe.
