It is another name that is added to the four previous cases made known: Roman Abramovich and Andrei Rappoprt already naturalized and the most recent Lev Leviev and God Nsianov. With an important detail: that of Gavril Yushvaev being investigated for allegedly having relations with criminal organizations in Eastern Europe.

The case is reported by the newspaper Público, which explains that Gavril Yushvaev was convicted in the Soviet era, in 1980, of robbery, which earned him a nine-year sentence in a prison camp.
More recently, in 2013, the Russian was mentioned in a report by the Information Directorate of the Special Central Unit 2 (UCE2) of the Spanish Civil Guard for her alleged relationship with Eastern European criminal organizations. The schemes would involve money laundering by relying on a network of Russian bankers, businessmen and politicians.

The oligarch has already been certified by the Israeli community in Porto as a descendant of Sephardic Jews, a certificate that is essential to obtain naturalization under the Nationality Law.
