New on Corruptario today, a look at the sanctioned Russian oligarch just awarded a second transit contract by Metrolinx.

Oleg Deripaska is linked to Paul Manafort and Russian interference in the 2016 US election.

Did you see this @tdotresident.bsky.social ?

tdotresident.bsky.social•463 days ago

Yes indeed. The 3rd contract from Ford to Strabag. Over $1B total. (Scarborough Subway Tunnel, 401/409 GO Tunnel, and this Eg West LRT Tunnel).

I didn't realize it was the third, TDot. Gonna find the 401/409 announcement and update the article. Thank you!

Ty!

There are some nice pictures of Kinga Surma and her team standing in front of the Strabag sign. 😂

I’m not sufficiently sophisticated to understand whether Strabag is disentangling from Deripaska or whether this is smoke and mirrors. Regardless, it seems clear that Strabag’s interests are strongly linked to Russia’s.

They are trying to reduce his share in the company. Because it looks bad. 😆

dfisman.bsky.social•467 days ago

So basically smoke and mirrors?

corruptario.bsky.social•467 days ago

Yes. They offered a bunch more shares in order to lower the percentage that Deripaska owns overall. But he didn't get rid of any shares and he still owns 25%.
