Dmitry Rybolovlev#Florida

Dmitry Rybolovlev was born in a Russian family, in Perm. His parents worked at the department at the Perm State Medical University named after Academician E.A Wagner.{{Cite web |last=Новости |first=Р. И.

He entered the business world in 1990 after graduating from the Perm Medical Institute.{{Cite news|title=Dmitry Rybolovlev|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/profiles/dmitry-rybolovlev/|access-date=18 October 2018|website=Bloomberg}} He worked as a doctor before going into business.{{Cite web|date=21 June 2010|title=Время разбрасывать калий|url=https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/1386947|access-date=18 November 2021|website=www.kommersant.ru|language=ru}} As a doctor's income was no longer enough to comfortably support a family during the final years of the Soviet Union, he began his first business project, a small medical enterprise that served the workers of local factories he set up together with his father, a professor of medicine.{{Cite web|title=Дмитрий Рыболовлев, хозяин "Уралкалия".

Rybolovlev earned his first million dollars by reselling products, which the factories used to pay for in services rather than cash as was then a common practice in Russia.{{Cite web|title="Спаситель мира": сенсация в криминальных тонах|url=https://day.kyiv.ua/ru/article/kultura/spasitel-mira-sensaciya-v-kriminalnyh-tonah|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211118111242/https://day.kyiv.ua/ru/article/kultura/spasitel-mira-sensaciya-v-kriminalnyh-tonah |archive-date=18 November 2021 }}

In 1992, Rybolovlev went to Moscow to take a business course and received a brokerage license from the Russian Ministry of Finance, one of the first in Russia and the first in the Perm region, which permitted him to trade and deal with securities. Upon his return to Perm, he founded a brokerage and investment company and started buying up shares of local enterprises such as Uralkali, Silvinit, Azot, Metafrax, and Solikamskbumprom.

In early 1994, Rybolovlev persuaded directors of these and some other enterprises to establish a bank, which he headed.

He later decided to concentrate on two assets, Uralkali and Silvinit, given that the Russian potash industry was underdeveloped at the time due to the lack of interest from investors, unlike in the oil and gas sectors. Additionally, no one had been able to acquire controlling stakes in the industry's firms. From 1993 to 1995, Rybolovlev's portfolio included securities of Uralkali, Silvinit, Metafrax and Neftekhimik. These companies jointly developed the Verkhnekamskoye potash deposit, one of the world's largest.

The violent nature of capital accumulation in early to mid-1990s Russia, including in the country's industrially developed regions like the Perm Krai, gave rise to violent criminals battling over control of companies and imposing "protection" fees on businesses.{{Cite news|title=Дмитрий Рыболовлев: от одержимого футболом олигарха до фигуранта дела о коррупции|url=https://www.vedomosti.ru/business/articles/2018/11/08/785962-dmitrii-ribolovlev|access-date=18 November 2021|website=Ведомости|date=9 November 2018 |language=ru}}{{Cite web|date=23 March 2018|title=Gangster's paradise: how organised crime took over Russia|url=http://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/23/how-organised-crime-took-over-russia-vory-super-mafia|access-date=18 November 2021|website=The Guardian|language=en}}

Refusing to cooperate with criminal gangs, Rybolovlev was forced to hire a bodyguard in 1993 before moving his family to safety in Switzerland in 1995. He also assigned bodyguards to all the directors of his enterprises, with only one, Evgeny Panteleimonov, director of Neftekhimik, refusing to accept.{{Cite web|date=22 October 2021|title=Борьба валдайских мальчиков — 2|url=https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/5048937|access-date=18 November 2021|website=www.kommersant.ru|language=ru}} Together with Rybolovlev, he had insisted on stopping the supply of the company's products through a mafia-controlled straw firm, "Trade House FD". That same year, Evgeny Panteleimonov was killed at the doorstep of his house.{{Cite web|title=Рыболовлев, Дмитрий Известный предприниматель, бывший владелец ОАО "Уралкалий"|url=https://lenta.ru/lib/14190281/|access-date=18 November 2021|website=lenta.ru}}

A local gangster, Oleg Lomakin, turned out to be the organizer of the murder and was detained in April 1996. He accused Rybolovlev of being behind the murder, which led to Rybolovlev being arrested and spending 11 months in pretrial detention. Lomakin eventually withdrew his testimony, and, together with two accomplices, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for the murder of Panteleimonov. The judge concluded that the gangsters had killed the director of the company for breaking off relations with "Trade House FD".

In 1997, Rybolovlev was acquitted by courts of law at three levels, including the Presidium of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation. In media reports, he stated that he was extorted in jail to sell the shares of his company in exchange for his freedom, but had refused.

Over the next 15 years, Rybolovlev focused on developing Uralkali and eventually built it into a major global enterprise.{{Cite web|date=18 January 2013|title=Uralkali to Spend $5.8 Billion to Boost Potash Capacity 80% – Business...|url=http://www.businessweek.com/news/2011-10-25/uralkali-to-spend-5-8-billion-to-boost-potash-capacity-80-.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130118160826/http://www.businessweek.com/news/2011-10-25/uralkali-to-spend-5-8-billion-to-boost-potash-capacity-80-.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=18 January 2013|access-date=16 July 2021|website=archive.ph}}

According to the Russian business newspaper Vedomosti, by 2000 he had consolidated his controlling interest in the company and begun to reform and develop it.{{Citation needed|date=July 2018}} While in 2000 the capitalization of Uralkali was around $15 million, in eight years it reached $20 billion. While the overall market outlook for mineral fertilizers improved over this time, reforms made under Rybolovlev's leadership played an important role in transforming a Soviet-era enterprise into a worldwide industry leader. In 2000, Rybolovlev replaced the entire management of Uralkali, setting an increase in labor productivity as a key indicator, and as a result, it increased by 2.5 times in the period from 2000 to 2007.

Following this rapid growth throughout the early 2000s, in 2002 Uralkali built the Baltic Bulk Terminal in St. Petersburg port as its own transport hub, providing the company with a high-tech universal transshipment complex for mineral fertilizers, and thereby improving logistics capabilities.{{Cite web|title=Балтийский балкерный терминал достроили|url=https://www.dp.ru/a/2002/12/17/Baltijskij_balkernij_term|access-date=18 November 2021|website=dp.ru|language=ru}}{{Cite news|date=2016|title=АГРОХИМИКИ СТОЯТ УСТОЙЧИВО|language=ru|pages=12–17|work=ВЕСТИ МОРСКОГО ПЕТЕРБУРГА|url=https://morproekt.ru/attachments/article/826/vesti_2016_2_web.pdf|access-date=18 November 2021}}

The decision turned out to be correct in many respects, since just a few days after the cancellation of the IPO, a major accident occurred at one of Uralkali's mines.{{Cite web|title="Затопленное" IPO|url=https://wek.ru/zatoplennoe-ipo|access-date=18 November 2021|website=wek.ru|language=ru}} Uralkali's IPO finally went ahead in 2007, making it one of the most successful in the history of Russian business.{{Cite web|title="Уралкалий" привлек в ходе IPO около $1 млрд|url=https://www.rbc.ru/economics/12/10/2007/5703c9619a79470eaf767598|access-date=18 November 2021|website=РБК|date=12 October 2007 |language=ru}} For 14.38% of shares, Uralkali raised almost $1 billion, with demand for shares exceeding supply by 23 times.{{Cite web|date=18 October 2007|title=Potash empire strikes back in Uralkali IPO|url=https://www.globalcapital.com/article/28mw098cdu6v3zz32mb5s/equity/potash-empire-strikes-back-in-uralkali-ipo|access-date=18 November 2021|website=GlobalCapital|language=en}} The listing attracted major international investors due to the company's strong financial results and proved to be a pivot point for the traditionally closed-off Russian chemical industry, setting new standards for corporate governance transparency.{{Cite web|title=Ряд предприятия Прикамья вошли в число лидеров в рейтинге инвестиционной открытости по версии "Секрета фирмы"|url=https://www.business-class.su/news/2008/06/07/12196|access-date=18 November 2021|website=www.business-class.su|language=ru}}

In June 2010, Rybolovlev sold a 53% shareholding in Uralkali to a group of Russian investors: Kaliha Finance Limited (Suleyman Kerimov, 25%), Aerellia Investments Limited (Alexander Nesis, 15%) and Becounioco Holdings Limited (Filaret Galchev, 13.2%).{{Cite web|last=Catherine|first=Belton|date=28 May 2010|title=Rybolovlev in talks to sell Uralkali stake|url=https://www.ft.com/content/8b484088-69b4-11df-8432-00144feab49a|access-date=16 July 2021|website=www.ft.com}}{{Cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/uralkali-idUKLDE65D05U20100614|title=Russian billionaire sells 53.2 pct Uralkali stake|author=((Reuters Editorial))|work=U.S.|access-date=18 October 2018|language=en-US}} The transaction price was not disclosed but was reported to be around $5.3 billion.{{Cite web|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2010-06-14/uralkali-climbs-in-london-as-owner-rybolovlev-offloads-controlling-stake|title=Uralkali Gains as Rybolovlev Sells Controlling Stake|date=14 June 2010|website=Bloomberg|access-date=18 October 2018}}

In October 2006, a freshwater spring began flowing into one of Uralkali's mines under the city of Berezniki, leading the walls and pillars supporting the ceilings of large caverns to dissolve.{{Cite news|last=Kramer|first=Andrew E.|date=11 April 2012|title=A Russian City Always on the Watch Against Being Sucked Into the Earth|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/11/world/europe/russian-city-on-watch-against-being-sucked-into-the-earth.html|access-date=16 July 2021|issn=0362-4331}} There were attempts to keep the mine operable, but Rybolovlev decided to close it to avoid fatalities.{{Cite web|title=Дело Баумгертнера: как эффективный менеджер стал заложником в калийной войне|url=https://www.forbes.ru/kompanii/resursy/247712-voennoplennyi-kak-vladislav-baumgertner-stal-zalozhnikom-aleksandra-lukashen|access-date=18 November 2021|website=Forbes.ru|date=22 November 2013 |language=ru}} As a result, mining equipment worth tens of millions of dollars and unexploited reserves of potash ore remained underground, but human casualties were avoided.

As a result of the mine's collapse, large sinkholes appeared around the mine and in the city of Berezniki, forcing some 12,000 residents to evacuate their homes.{{Cite web|date=6 September 2015|title=Giant sinkhole in Perm region of Russia growing wider and deeper|url=https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/giant-sinkhole-perm-region-russia-growing-wider-deeper-1518672|access-date=16 July 2021|website=International Business Times UK|language=en}} New sinkholes continue to appear regularly throughout the Perm region though it is not clear whether all of them are caused by mining activities.{{Cite web|date=20 May 2015|title=New Sinkhole Appears in Russia's Perm Region|url=https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2015/05/20/new-sinkhole-appears-in-russias-perm-region-a46702|access-date=16 July 2021|website=The Moscow Times|language=en}} The causes of the accident were investigated by commissions of Rostekhnadzor, the Ministry of Emergencies, and the Ministry of Natural Resources. The investigation concluded that the accident occurred for geological reasons, specifically a "previously unknown anomaly of geological structure".{{Cite web|title=Страница не найдена! {{!}} Информационный портал Вести ПБ|url=https://vestipb.ru/news_306.html%20%20https:/www.icis.com/explore/resources/news/2008/11/13/9171167/uralkali-not-responsible-for-berezniki-mine-flood/|access-date=18 November 2021|website=vestipb.ru|archive-date=18 November 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211118120044/https://vestipb.ru/news_306.html%20%20https:/www.icis.com/explore/resources/news/2008/11/13/9171167/uralkali-not-responsible-for-berezniki-mine-flood/|url-status=dead}}

Then-head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, Sergei Shoygu, said "the situation that we have today has been accumulating for decades.

The neutrality of the commission's report has been challenged by some observers, who argued that the report was partly written by OAO Galurgia, a company affiliated with Uralkali.{{Cite web|last=Полухина|first=Юлия|date=17 October 2016|title=Вышли деньги из провала.

Uralkali repeatedly denied the allegations, with Russian economic newspaper Kommersant reporting that the company's experts carried out the backfilling of the mines based on the technical projects and mining operations plans in the volumes necessary to ensure the safety of existing mines.{{Cite web|date=7 October 2016|title=Прокурорская закладка|url=https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/3108627|access-date=18 November 2021|website=www.kommersant.ru|language=ru}} When Rybolovlev became a shareholder in Uralkali, the company began to actively engage in backfilling the voids inherited from the Soviet era. More than 70% of the funding was provided by Uralkali, the rest came from the federal budget.{{Cite web|date=3 September 2005|title=На "Уралкалии" решают проблемы закладки шахтных пустот (Пермская обл.)|url=https://regnum.ru/news/521396.html|url-status=live|access-date=18 November 2021|website=ИА REGNUM|language=ru|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051128062207/http://regnum.ru:80/news/521396.html |archive-date=28 November 2005 }} A report in The New York Times suggested that the situation was partially caused by the fact that Berezniki began as a Soviet labor camp, and was built directly over the mine to be within marching distance of work areas.{{Cite news|last=Kramer|first=Andrew E.|title=Russian City on Watch Against Being Sucked Into the Earth|work=The New York Times |date=11 April 2012 |language=en|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/11/world/europe/russian-city-on-watch-against-being-sucked-into-the-earth.html?mtrref=undefined&gwh=84EB165B21006D6D6E8221C08EF0AFFF&gwt=pay|access-date=19 October 2018}}

Alleged state asset grab

In October 2008, Russian Vice Premier Igor Sechin reopened the investigation, prompting speculation in international news outlets, including The New York Times, that a raider attack had been launched against Uralkali.{{Cite news|last=Levy|first=Clifford J.|date=7 December 2008|title=In Hard Times, Russia Tries to Reclaim Industries|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/08/world/europe/08kremlin.html|access-date=16 July 2021|issn=0362-4331}} The results of this investigation turned out to be almost identical to the conclusion of the first investigation, namely that the cause of the accident was a combination of geological and technological factors.{{Cite web|date=12 May 2010|title="Государство должно поддерживать такие компании"|url=https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/1367075|access-date=18 November 2021|website=www.kommersant.ru|language=ru}}

Industry analysts at the time considered the re-opening of the investigation "an opportunistic move to gain a foothold in that industry or take some assets", where individuals close to the top echelons of government had sought to expand into the natural resources sector, in line with Putin's view that "Russia made a colossal error in the 1990s by allowing its enormous reserves of oil, gas and other natural resources to fall into private hands."{{Cite news |date=2008-11-11 |title=Investors see asset grab in Russia potash mine probe |language=en |work=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/uralkali-idUKLB37464820081111 |access-date=2022-03-10}}{{Cite news |last=Levy |first=Clifford J. |date=2008-12-07 |title=In Hard Times, Russia Tries to Reclaim Industries |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/08/world/europe/08kremlin.html |access-date=2022-03-10 |issn=0362-4331}}

Following the country's deep recession, on 25 March 2013 the Eurogroup agreed with the government of Cyprus that the Bank of Cyprus would take over the remnants of Laiki Bank. To finance the deal and save the Bank of Cyprus from bankruptcy, it was also decided that accounts over €100,000 would suffer a haircut on their assets of about 50%, which mostly wiped out Rybolovlev's stake and ended his involvement in the Bank with a $600 million loss.{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/06/world/europe/wilbur-ross-russia-bank-of-cyprus.html|title=New Commerce Secretary Was No Friend to Russians at Cyprus Bank|work=The New York Times |date=6 March 2017 |access-date=19 October 2018|language=en|last1=Higgins |first1=Andrew }} In 2012, he acquired Cypriot citizenship upon becoming an investor in the Bank of Cyprus.{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/sep/17/cyprus-selling-eu-citizenship-to-super-rich-of-russia-and-ukraine|title=Cyprus 'selling' EU citizenship to super rich of Russia and Ukraine|website=The Guardian|date=17 September 2017}}

The remaining 33% stake in the club is owned by Monaco's ruling family, the House of Grimaldi, with Rybolovlev's acquisition of the stake in the club approved by Prince Albert II of Monaco. Rybolovlev was subsequently appointed president of the club.

Though historically Monaco is one of France's most successful clubs, they were struggling at the time of Rybolovlev's arrival, and had been relegated to the second tier of French football, Ligue 2. Étienne Franzi, Monaco's former president, and the DNCG, the French football authority, both gave positive assessments of the club's progress after Rybolovlev's first year of ownership in December 2012.{{cite web|title=Comment Dmitry Rybolovlev a transfiguré l'AS Monaco?|url=http://www.nicematin.com/as-monaco/comment-dmitry-rybolovlev-a-transfigure-las-monaco.1095376.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121231135603/http://www.nicematin.com/as-monaco/comment-dmitry-rybolovlev-a-transfigure-las-monaco.1095376.html|archive-date=31 December 2012|access-date=28 December 2012}} Retrieved 28 December 2012.

In May 2013, Monaco was promoted to Ligue 1 after securing the second-division title. Monaco became one of the most prodigious spenders in European football in the summer of 2013 under Rybolovlev's presidency, spending £146 million on players including Radamel Falcao, James Rodríguez and João Moutinho. Ricardo Carvalho and Eric Abidal were also signed on free transfers with large salaries.{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/sep/04/monaco-radamel-falcao-manchester-united-dmitry-rybolovlev|title=Falcao and the Monaco exodus: What's going on at last year's big spenders?|author=Paul Doyle|date=4 September 2014|work=The Guardian|access-date=26 June 2015}}

Rodríguez and Falcao subsequently left Monaco in the summer of 2014, the latter leaving on loan to Manchester United and Chelsea (returning to Monaco in 2016{{Cite web|date=13 May 2016|title=Radamel Falcao returns to Monaco after Chelsea decline purchase option|url=https://www.mid-day.com/articles/radamel-falcao-returns-to-monaco-after-chelsea-decline-purchase-option/17231154|access-date=17 January 2019|website=mid-day|language=en}}) and the former being sold to Real Madrid for almost double the transfer fee Monaco had paid Porto for his services one year prior.{{cite news|author=Sid Lowe|date=22 July 2014|title=James Rodríguez: will new galáctico fit into Real Madrid masterplan?|work=The Guardian|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/jul/22/james-rodriguez-real-madrid-masterplan|access-date=26 June 2015}} The transfers were explained by Monaco's vice president Vadim Vasilyev as part of a new strategy. He stated "There are two ways to go... One is either you invest a lot of money and do it quickly, the other is you build up an intelligent project and you have to base yourself on your academy and sound principles of working and scouting well and basically that's what we've decided to do."

In January 2014, Monaco agreed to pay the governing body of French football, the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP), a one-off voluntary payment of €50 million to remain exempt from a ruling by the LFP that its clubs must have their head offices located in France. Based in the tax haven of Monaco, the club managed to avoid the effects of tax increases in neighboring France. Rybolovlev and the head of the French league, Noël Le Graët, had initially failed to find an agreement over the matter and Rybolovlev had initiated legal action against the league which was later dropped. The €50 million figure was calculated by the league as the amount saved by Monaco as a result of their unique location.{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/jan/24/monaco-50m-france-ligue1-tax-exempt|title=Monaco pay €50m to France to stay in Ligue 1 – exempted from French tax|author=Paul Doyle|date=24 January 2014|work=The Guardian|access-date=26 June 2015}} In July 2015, The State Council, France's highest court for administrative matters, announced that the agreement between the LFP and Monaco should be annulled, therefore AS Monaco no longer had to pay €50 million and had no obligation to move its headquarters out of the Principality.{{Cite web|date=9 July 2015|title=Monaco cash boost as tax deal is annulled|url=https://www.espn.com/soccer/french-ligue-1/story/2516988/monaco-financial-boost-as-french-court-annuls-tax-deal|access-date=16 December 2021|website=ESPN.com|language=en}}{{Cite news|date=9 July 2015|title=Ligue 1 : un cadeau à 50 millions pour Monaco|language=fr|work=Le Monde.fr|url=https://www.lemonde.fr/ligue-1/article/2015/07/09/ligue-1-monaco-ne-doit-plus-50-millions-a-la-lfp_4676907_1616940.html|access-date=16 December 2021}}

The departure of star players and a decline in spending was also attributed by Vasilyev to the introduction of the UEFA Financial Fair Play Regulations and the resultant threat of sanctions. In an interview, Vasilyev dismissed claims that the Russian management were selling Monaco's best assets before leaving and stated that Rybolovlev remained "strongly committed" to the club. In a March 2015 interview with Nice Matin, Rybolovlev reiterated that his plans for the club are long-term.{{cite news|url=http://www.nicematin.com/monaco/foot-business-monaco-les-confidences-de-dmitri-rybolovlev.2154707.html|title=Foot, business, Monaco: les confidences de Dmitri Rybolovlev|date=27 March 2015|work=Nice Matin|access-date=26 June 2015}}

He was released from custody and placed under judicial control.{{Cite news |author=((Reuters Editorial)) |title=Russian tycoon a formal suspect in Monaco graft probe – prosecutor |language=en-GB |work=U.K. |url=https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-monaco-tycoon-investigation/russian-tycoon-a-formal-suspect-in-monaco-graft-probe-prosecutor-idUKKCN1NC2E9 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181108004815/https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-monaco-tycoon-investigation/russian-tycoon-a-formal-suspect-in-monaco-graft-probe-prosecutor-idUKKCN1NC2E9 |url-status=dead |archive-date=8 November 2018 |access-date=8 November 2018}}

In an interview with the Nice Matin in December 2018, Rybolovlev's lawyer, Me Hervé Temime, criticised repeated violations of the investigation's secrecy that he attributed to vested interests against Rybolovlev. He also stated that "the seriousness of the initial scam" was understated "because of the wealth" of Rybolovlev in what he described as an ostracism of rich Russians.{{Cite web |date=17 December 2018 |title=L'avocat de Dmitri Rybolovlev brise le silence: "Au tribunal, on ne jouera pas au bonneteau" |url=https://www.monacomatin.mc/justice/lavocat-de-dmitri-rybolovlev-brise-le-silence-au-tribunal-on-ne-jouera-pas-au-bonneteau-285042 |access-date=21 December 2018 |website=Nice-Matin |language=fr}}

In June 2019, Sotheby's request to have the case against it thrown out was denied by a US federal court in Manhattan.{{Cite news |date=25 June 2019 |title=Sotheby's must face Russian billionaire's lawsuit over art fraud -... |language=en |work=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-art-sotheby-s-rybolovlev-idUSKCN1TQ2KL |access-date=31 July 2019}} The court argued that Sotheby's had failed to establish "exceptional circumstances" to justify such a move. The auction house also had to allow public access to previously sealed or redacted documents detailing correspondence between Yves Bouvier, Sotheby's staff as well as Sotheby's senior director and vice-chairman for private sales Samuel Valette.{{Cite web |title=Sotheby's denied dismissal of Rybolovlev's $380m lawsuit by New York judge |url=http://theartnewspaper.com/news/sotheby-s-denied-dismissal-of-rybolovlev-s-usd380m-lawsuit-by-new-york-judge |access-date=31 July 2019 |website=theartnewspaper.com|date=26 June 2019 }} According to the Art Newspaper, the correspondence reveals "that Bouvier paid Sotheby's $83 million for Salvator Mundi, suggesting a 53.62% markup on the painting, as Rybolovlev had alleged".{{Cite web |date=26 June 2019 |title=Russian Billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev Can Proceed With His $380 Million Lawsuit Against Sotheby's, a Judge Says |url=https://news.artnet.com/art-world/rybolovlev-can-proceed-lawsuit-against-sothebys-1585969 |access-date=31 July 2019 |website=artnet News |language=en-US}} Next to Salvator Mundi, the documents pertain to pricing negotiations between Bouvier and Sotheby's for Gustav Klimt's Wasserschlangen II in 2012, Picasso's L'Homme Assis Au Verre and Modigliani's Nu Couché au Coussin Bleu.

In July 2020, criminal proceedings against Bouvier for fraud and money laundering were dismissed by Monaco's Court of Revision on the procedural grounds that "the investigations had been conducted in a biased and unfair manner".{{Cite news |last=Bowley |first=Graham |date=8 July 2020 |title=Court Ruling in Monaco Ends One Piece of a $2 Billion Art Dispute |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/08/arts/design/yves-bouvier-art-fraud-monaco.html |access-date=1 February 2021 |issn=0362-4331}} In January 2021, Swiss prosecutors closed a two-year-long investigation into Bouvier.{{Cite web |date=28 January 2021 |title=In a Victory for Art Dealer Yves Bouvier, Swiss Prosecutors Are Closing the Book on Claims Brought Against Him by a Russian Oligarch |url=https://news.artnet.com/art-world/yves-bouvier-dmitry-rybolovlev-geneva-1940089 |access-date=1 February 2021 |website=artnet News |language=en-US}} Rybolovlev appealed the prosecutor's decision. As of February 2021, litigation between Rybolovlev and Bouvier is still ongoing in a number of jurisdictions, including the US, London and Paris. After the Swiss prosecutor closed the investigation, Rybolovlev's lawyers filed an appeal claiming the case was "one of the most serious the art world has ever known, be duly considered and finally judged on its merits".{{Cite web |title=Guerre des tableaux – Le magnat Dmitri Rybolovlev refuse de plier face à Yves Bouvier |url=https://www.tdg.ch/le-magnat-rybolovlev-refuse-de-plier-contre-yves-bouvier-779410030633 |access-date=16 December 2021 |website=Tribune de Genève |date=26 October 2021 |language=fr}}{{Cite news |date=25 October 2021 |title=Les avocats de Dmitri Rybolovlev se disent soucieux de la transparence du marché de l'art suisse |language=fr |work=Le Temps |url=https://www.letemps.ch/economie/avocats-dmitri-rybolovlev-se-disent-soucieux-transparence-marche-lart-suisse |access-date=16 December 2021 |issn=1423-3967}}

In September 2021, Rybolovlev filed a case with the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) against the Department of Justice of Monaco in a case of attorney-client privilege violation within the Bouvier affair. During the investigation in Monaco, the judge seized the phone of Rybolovlev's lawyer in order to verify the authenticity of the records that were a part of the proceedings. However, he accessed all the information contained in the lawyer's smartphone. Rybolovlev and his lawyer contested this use of the telephone and alleged a violation of the attorney-client privilege. {{Cite web |last=Valdiguié |first=Laurent |date=13 October 2021 |title=Affaire Rybolovlev à Monaco : la CEDH se penche sur le secret professionnel des avocats |url=https://www.marianne.net/societe/police-et-justice/affaire-rybolovlev-a-monaco-la-cedh-se-penche-sur-le-secret-professionnel-des-avocats |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211013114925/https://www.marianne.net/societe/police-et-justice/affaire-rybolovlev-a-monaco-la-cedh-se-penche-sur-le-secret-professionnel-des-avocats |archive-date=13 October 2021 |access-date=16 December 2021 |website=www.marianne.net |language=fr}}

In July 2022, the criminal court of appeal in Geneva nullified the previous dismissal of Rybolovlev's complaints against Bouvier, which had been pronounced by the prosecutor. The court's decision acknowledged that "the possible existence of deception cannot be denied."{{Cite web |date=2022-07-28 |title=Billionaire battle rages on as Geneva court overturns dismissal of Dmitry Rybolovev's fraud case against art dealer Yves Bouvier |url=https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2022/07/28/geneva-court-overturns-dismissal-of-dmitry-rybolovevs-fraud-case-against-art-dealer-yves-bouvier |access-date=2023-05-15 |website=The Art Newspaper - International art news and events}} Furthermore, the Geneva court returned the case to the Geneva Prosecutor's Office for further investigation into Bouvier.{{Cite web |date=2022-08-01 |title=The Never-Ending Art Fraud Battle Between Billionaires Yves Bouvier and Dmitry Rybolovlev Will, of Course, Continue |url=https://observer.com/2022/08/the-never-ending-art-fraud-battle-between-billionaires-yves-bouvier-and-dmitry-rybolovlev-will-of-course-continue/ |access-date=2023-05-15 |website=Observer |language=en-US}}

In March 2023, U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman decreed that Sotheby's must confront the lawsuit filed by Rybolovlev. The suit accuses the auction house of being complicit in the former art dealer's scam, which led to overcharging Rybolovlev for 15 pieces of art.{{Cite news |last=Stempel |first=Jonathan |date=2023-03-01 |title=Sotheby's must face Russian billionaire oligarch's art fraud lawsuit |language=en |work=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/legal/sothebys-must-face-russian-billionaire-oligarchs-art-fraud-lawsuit-2023-03-01/ |access-date=2023-05-15}} The artworks in question are worth hundreds of millions of dollars and include works by Gustav Klimt, Rene Magritte, and Amedeo Modigliani, along with The Salvator Mundi, attributed to Leonardo da Vinci.{{Cite web |date=2023-03-07 |title=Leonardo's Salvator Mundi heads to court in case against Sotheby's |url=https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2023/03/07/leonardos-salvator-mundi-heads-to-court-in-case-against-sothebys |access-date=2023-05-15 |website=The Art Newspaper - International art news and events}}

The accusations in the lawsuit revolve around fraud. The judge allowed the Salvator Mundi claims and referred to evidence that Sotheby's was aware that Bouvier had purchased the painting for Rybolovlev. Sotheby's client manager collaborated with Bouvier to "adjust its valuation" despite objections from Sotheby's own Old Masters specialist. The judge's ruling also confirms that Samuel Valette, a senior director and vice chairman of Sotheby's private sales worldwide for the Impressionist and Modern art department, "was aware of Bouvier's price manipulation and the essence of his scheme."

In November 2023, it was reported that Monaco investigating judges dismissed the case against Rybolovlev concerning his alleged complicity for invasion of privacy. A complaint against Rybolovlev as well as his lawyer Tetiana Bersheda and then-Monaco public prosecutor Jean-Pierre Dreno was filed back in 2015 by Tatia Rappo, a friend of both Rybolovlev and Bouvier. The case against Dreno was also dismissed in November 2023, whereas Bersheda was cleared of any wrongdoing by the Monaco court in March 2024.{{Cite web |last=Esteve |first=Camille |date=2023-11-30 |title=Bouvier-Rybolovlev case: Jean-Pierre Dreno and Dmitry Rybolovlev cleared of invasion of privacy allegations |url=https://www.monaco-tribune.com/en/2023/11/bouvier-rybolovlev-case-jean-pierre-dreno-and-dmitry-rybolovlev-cleared-of-invasion-of-privacy-allegations/ |access-date=2024-03-29 |website=Monaco Tribune |language=en-US}}

In December 2023, it was reported that Rybolovlev and Bouvier reached an undisclosed settlement agreement. According to a statement by the Geneva prosecutor's office, the parties requested that the criminal proceedings not be pursued.{{Cite web |last=Kinsella |first=Eileen |date=2023-12-11 |title=The Sprawling Legal Dispute Between Yves Bouvier and Dmitry Rybolovlev Is Finally Over |url=https://news.artnet.com/art-world/yves-bouvier-rybolovlev-dispute-settled-2406832 |access-date=2023-12-22 |website=Artnet News |language=en-US}}

On 8 January 2024, Rybolovlev's lawsuit against Sotheby's began in Manhattan federal court lasting nearly four weeks. Rybolovlev personally testified in court through interpreters saying he fully relied on documents from Sotheby's when making art purchases through Bouvier, which eventually led him to overpay his art advisor up to $1 billion.{{Cite news |last=Fanelli |first=Kelly Crow and James |title=Sotheby's Cleared of Claims It Duped Russian Billionaire |url=https://www.wsj.com/arts-culture/fine-art/sothebys-cleared-of-claims-it-duped-russian-billionaire-f419132f |access-date=2024-03-29 |work=WSJ |language=en-US}} Samuel Valette, Sotheby's senior vice president and head of private sales for EMEA, testified that the information in Bouvier's emails to Rybolovlev's aide to justify the price of artworks was “a complete fiction”.{{Cite web |last=Kinsella |first=Eileen |date=2024-01-19 |title=Sotheby's Exec Paints an Ugly Picture of Yves Bouvier's Deceptions in Ongoing Rybolovlev Trial |url=https://news.artnet.com/art-world/sothebys-exec-ugly-picture-rybolovlev-trial-2421077 |access-date=2024-03-29 |website=Artnet News |language=en-US}}

On January 30, the ten-member jury found that the auction house didn't aid in defrauding Rybolovlev by secretly and significantly marking up the prices of 4 artworks sold to the Russian collector. Rybolovlev's lawyer said, however, that the case “achieved our goal of shining a light on the lack of transparency that plagues the art market,” adding, “That secrecy made it difficult to prove a complex aiding and abetting fraud case. This verdict only highlights the need for reforms, which must be made outside the courtroom.”{{Cite news |date=2024-01-30 |title=Sotheby's Wins Suit by Russian Billionaire Over Art Fraud |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-01-30/sotheby-s-wins-suit-filed-by-russian-billionaire-over-art-fraud |access-date=2024-03-29 |work=Bloomberg.com |language=en}}

On 6 June 2024, the ECHR issued a decision that confirmed the violation of Article 8 (right to respect for private life) of the European Convention on Human Rights of Rybolovlev’s lawyer, Tetiana Bersheda. The court ruled that during proceedings in Monaco, the judge “had extended the scope of his investigation too broadly and that the supervisory judicial authorities had failed to redefine the bounds of the expert’s assignment and of the investigation, in order to comply with the judge’s remit”. According to Rybolovlev’s attorney, Me Martin Reynaud, legal proceedings concerning corruption and influence peddling in Monaco could no longer continue as their basis was now considered illicitly obtained by Monegasque judiciary authorities.{{Cite web |last=Bregman |first=Alexandra |title='Monacogate' Feud Now Considered Human Rights Violation |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexandrabregman/2024/06/10/monacogate-feud-now-considered-human-rights-violation/ |access-date=2024-06-20 |website=Forbes |language=en}}{{Cite web |title=HUDOC - European Court of Human Rights |url=https://hudoc.echr.coe.int/#%7B%22itemid%22:%5B%22003-7965975-11107293%22%5D%7D |access-date=2024-06-20 |website=hudoc.echr.coe.int}}

In October 2024, Rybolovlev was cleared by Swiss authorities over his alleged role in the arrest of Yves Bouvier in Monaco in 2015. The Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland initiated criminal proceedings in 2017 and accused Rybolovlev of “performing illegally for a foreign state” by allegedly arranging for Bouvier to be apprehended by Monaco’s police. After a thorough investigation, the Swiss attorney general’s office concluded that no suspicion justifying an indictment had been established and closed the case.{{Cite web |last=Cassady |first=Daniel |date=2024-10-23 |title=Billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev Cleared in Swiss Investigation, Swiss Dealer Yves Bouvier Faces $830 M.

In February 2025, the corruption and the influence-peddling case against Dmitry Rybolovlev was officially closed after Monaco’s judiciary ruled that the evidence presented was based on data unlawfully extracted from his lawyer's phone.{{Cite web |last=Boutry |first=Timothée |date=2025-02-27 |title=Soupçons de corruption : la justice monégasque enterre l’affaire Dmitri Rybolovlev |url=https://www.leparisien.fr/faits-divers/soupcons-de-corruption-la-justice-monegasque-enterre-laffaire-dmitri-rybolovlev-27-02-2025-DJMPUUTBMBHZ5AHKJ2VN5FJVKY.php |access-date=2025-03-20 |website=leparisien.fr |language=fr-FR}} The decision followed a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), which stated that Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, concerning the right to privacy, had been violated. This effectively concluded the legal proceedings that had been ongoing since 2015. According to Rybolovlev's lawyers, there are no longer any criminal cases pending against him in any country in the world, and he is fully exonerated.{{Cite web |last=Cassady |first=Daniel |date=2025-02-27 |title=Monaco Court Annuls Case Against Billionaire Art Collector Dmitry Rybolovlev |url=https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/monaco-court-annuls-case-dmitry-rybolovlev-yves-bouvier-1234733799/ |access-date=2025-03-20 |website=ARTnews.com |language=en-US}}
