Petr Olegovich Aven (also transliterated Pyotr Aven; Russian: Пëтр Олегович Авен; Latvian: Pjotrs Avens; born 16 March 1955) is a Russian oligarch, businessman, economist and politician who also holds Latvian citizenship.[1] Until March 2022 he headed Alfa-Bank, Russia's largest commercial bank. In March 2022, he resigned from the board of directors at Alfa-Bank and LetterOne Group to help them avoid sanctions.[2] In 2023 he was named the 659th richest person in the world, with a net worth of around $4.2 billion.[3]
Aven is a member of Russian leader Vladimir Putin's inner circle.[4] Aven has met with Putin regularly, including soon after the Russian invasion in Ukraine.[5] He is one of many Russian oligarchs named in the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, CAATSA.[6] In 2022, Aven was included in EU sanctions imposed in the wake of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. He criticized the sanctions, alleging that they had been applied on a "spurious and unfounded basis,"[7] and filed a lawsuit in the European Court of Justice.[8]
