'''Shulom Cik''' (born August 1962) is an American-born British resident businessman and charity trustee prominent in the Orthodox Jewish community in London. He was a director and company secretary of Talmud Torah Education Limited, the proprietor of the Talmud Torah Yetev Lev school in Hackney, from 17 November 1992 until December 2025,<ref name="CH02766675">Companies House, [https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02766675/officers Talmud Torah Education Limited (02766675): officers] ''Companies House'', accessed 2 November 2026.</ref> and is a trustee of [[Vyoel Moshe Charitable Trust]] and [[United Talmudical Associates Ltd]].<ref name="CC327054">Charity Commission, [https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regid=327054 Vyoel Moshe Charitable Trust - 327054] ''Charity Commission'', accessed February 16, 2026.</ref><ref name="CC291834">Charity Commission, [https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regid=291834 United Talmudical Associates Ltd - 291834] ''Charity Commission'', accessed February 16, 2026.</ref><ref name="CC02766675">Charity Commission, [https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regid=1037631 Talmud Torah Education Limited - 1037631] ''Charity Commission'', accessed 2 November 2026.</ref> Cik directs at least 17 companies, primarily in property development, investment, and education-related ventures. His school-related activities have been linked to Ofsted criticisms of governance and standards at Talmud Torah Yetev Lev, while his business ventures have faced planning enforcement issues.
Cik has resided in England (London, N16 postcode area) and has been involved in property investment and Jewish community infrastructure. His roles reflect a focus on Orthodox Jewish education and welfare, with significant overlap between charity trusteeships and company directorships.
== School-related activities ==
Until December 2025 Cik was a director of Talmud Torah Education Limited, proprietor of Talmud Torah Yetev Lev (Hackney), a boys' independent day school for ages 2–12 in the Satmar Orthodox Jewish community.<ref name="Ofsted2016">Ofsted, [https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/2621367 Talmud Torah Yetev Lev inspection report] November 2016.</ref> The school, opened in 1965, has 883 pupils across multiple sites (111-115 Cazenove Road main; additional buildings at 112 Cazenove Road and 2-6 Chardmore Road).
Ofsted inspections have highlighted governance failures under Cik's proprietorship:

November 2016 progress monitoring: Unmet standards in curriculum (no policy, no technology, no protected characteristics teaching); safeguarding weak; literacy/maths poor; leadership lacks urgency.<ref name="Ofsted2016" />
May 2022 progress monitoring: Continued unmet standards in education quality, literacy/maths; safeguarding records incomplete; overcapacity breach (962 pupils vs. 567 registered); unreported building changes; governance lacks scrutiny; no website; policies on request only.<ref name="Ofsted2022">Ofsted, [https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50187770 Talmud Torah Yetev Lev inspection report] May 2022.</ref>

The school promotes British values but fails to teach all protected characteristics due to community expectations. It is subject to DfE restriction preventing new pupils.
== Business ventures and issues ==
Cik directs property companies, some of which have faced planning enforcement. In 2023–2024, Palmcourt Limited (where Cik is director) appealed a Hackney Council enforcement notice for unauthorised air conditioning units at 122 Cazenove Road (used as school premises). The appeal succeeded partially on 15 March 2024, extending compliance time to September 2024 for children's benefit, but upheld harm to conservation area and noise disturbance.<ref name="Planning2024">Planning Inspectorate, [https://acp.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/ViewDocument.aspx?fileid=56505430 Appeal decision: Palmcourt Limited v Hackney Council] March 15, 2024.</ref>
No other major controversies are documented for his ventures; they primarily involve property investment and community infrastructure.

'''Mayer Zafir''' is a charity trustee on the Charity Commission register and a current or former company officer on the Companies House register (born February 1962, British nationality, as published by Companies House). This profile covers public roles only. Companies House officer ID: d6cs-U8hxsoOIyE8ja5IKYvRDeI. Charity Commission trustee ID: 2131269. The Charity Commission and Companies House records are combined because the same name appears as trustee and as director of the same charitable company.<ref name="CC1084438" />

He is probably the same person as the Mayer Zafir who has been a trustee of [[Kollel Veyoel Moshe]] since 8 June 2017 (Charity Commission trustee ID 11968278).<ref name="CC1172072" /> That charity's contact address shares the postcode N15 6BL with companies he directs,<ref name="CHod6cs-U8h" /> and its trustee [[Samuel Tambur]] is also a trustee of [[Kollel Torah Ve Yirah Limited]] (charity 1125997), of which Mayer Zafir (born February 1962) is a trustee and a director.<ref name="CC1125997" /><ref name="CHof06673948" />

'''Shulom Cik''' (born August 1962) is an American-born British resident businessman and charity trustee prominent in the Orthodox Jewish community in London. He was a director and company secretary of Talmud Torah Education Limited, the proprietor of the Talmud Torah Yetev Lev school in Hackney, from 17 November 1992 until December 2025,<ref name="CH02766675">Companies House, [https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02766675/officers Talmud Torah Education Limited (02766675): officers] ''Companies House'', accessed 2 November 2026.</ref> and is a trustee of [[Vyoel Moshe Charitable Trust]] and [[United Talmudical Associates Ltd]].<ref name="CC327054">Charity Commission, [https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regid=327054 Vyoel Moshe Charitable Trust - 327054] ''Charity Commission'', accessed February 16, 2026.</ref><ref name="CC291834">Charity Commission, [https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regid=291834 United Talmudical Associates Ltd - 291834] ''Charity Commission'', accessed February 16, 2026.</ref><ref name="CC02766675">Charity Commission, [https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-details/?regid=1037631 Talmud Torah Education Limited - 1037631] ''Charity Commission'', accessed 2 November 2026.</ref> Cik directs at least 17 companies, primarily in property development, investment, and education-related ventures. His school-related activities have been linked to Ofsted criticisms of governance and standards at Talmud Torah Yetev Lev, while his business ventures have faced planning enforcement issues.
Cik has resided in England (London, N16 postcode area) and has been involved in property investment and Jewish community infrastructure. His roles reflect a focus on Orthodox Jewish education and welfare, with significant overlap between charity trusteeships and company directorships.
== School-related activities ==
Until December 2025 Cik was a director of Talmud Torah Education Limited, proprietor of Talmud Torah Yetev Lev (Hackney), a boys' independent day school for ages 2–12 in the Satmar Orthodox Jewish community.<ref name="Ofsted2016">Ofsted, [https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/2621367 Talmud Torah Yetev Lev inspection report] November 2016.</ref> The school, opened in 1965, has 883 pupils across multiple sites (111-115 Cazenove Road main; additional buildings at 112 Cazenove Road and 2-6 Chardmore Road).
Ofsted inspections have highlighted governance failures under Cik's proprietorship:

November 2016 progress monitoring: Unmet standards in curriculum (no policy, no technology, no protected characteristics teaching); safeguarding weak; literacy/maths poor; leadership lacks urgency.<ref name="Ofsted2016" />
May 2022 progress monitoring: Continued unmet standards in education quality, literacy/maths; safeguarding records incomplete; overcapacity breach (962 pupils vs. 567 registered); unreported building changes; governance lacks scrutiny; no website; policies on request only.<ref name="Ofsted2022">Ofsted, [https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50187770 Talmud Torah Yetev Lev inspection report] May 2022.</ref>

The school promotes British values but fails to teach all protected characteristics due to community expectations. It is subject to DfE restriction preventing new pupils.
== Business ventures and issues ==
Cik directs property companies, some of which have faced planning enforcement. In 2023–2024, Palmcourt Limited (where Cik is director) appealed a Hackney Council enforcement notice for unauthorised air conditioning units at 122 Cazenove Road (used as school premises). The appeal succeeded partially on 15 March 2024, extending compliance time to September 2024 for children's benefit, but upheld harm to conservation area and noise disturbance.<ref name="Planning2024">Planning Inspectorate, [https://acp.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/ViewDocument.aspx?fileid=56505430 Appeal decision: Palmcourt Limited v Hackney Council] March 15, 2024.</ref>
No other major controversies are documented for his ventures; they primarily involve property investment and community infrastructure.

{{short description|'''List of 69 Jewish charities on the Scottish Charity Register, with income and expenditure'''}}
'''Jewish charities in Scotland''' is a list of 69 charities on the Scottish Charity Register, which is kept by the [[Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator]] (OSCR).<ref name="OSCRreg2026">[[Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator]], [https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/search-the-register/download-the-scottish-charity-register/ Download the Scottish Charity Register], register export dated 14 October 2026.</ref> It covers charities whose names, purposes, objectives or activities in the register refer to Jewish religion, community, education or culture, using terms such as "Jewish", "synagogue", "Hebrew", "Torah", "Lubavitch" and "Holocaust", the same kind of keyword approach as the [[Jewish charities in England and Wales]] list. It also includes 17 charities identified from other sources whose register entries do not use these terms. Only charities on the current register are included; charities that have been removed from the register are left out.

For charities that have closed or been removed from the register, see [[Former Jewish charities in Scotland]].

The list includes 7 cross-border charities that were established elsewhere in the United Kingdom but are also on the Scottish register, such as the [[Community Security Trust]]. It also includes Messianic and Christian mission bodies whose register entries refer to Jewish people. 5 charities ([[Glasgow Hebrew Burial Society Charitable Fund Association]], [[Jewish Lads & Girls Brigade]], [[Jewish Learning Centre]], [[Lodge Montefiore No 753 Benevolent & Annuity Fund]], [[Lodge Montefiore No 753 Charity Special Projects Fund]]) have the register status "Not Submitted".

The 69 charities with figures had a combined latest recorded income of £124,396,167 and expenditure of £111,150,984. Figures are each charity's most recent year on the register, so financial years differ. Unlike the registers for England and Wales and Northern Ireland, the Scottish register does not record the countries a charity works in (only a general "geographical spread", such as "UK and overseas"), so this list has no "Operates in Israel" column.

{{short description|'''List of 69 Jewish charities on the Scottish Charity Register, with income and expenditure'''}}
'''Jewish charities in Scotland''' is a list of 69 charities on the Scottish Charity Register, which is kept by the [[Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator]] (OSCR).<ref name="OSCRreg2026">[[Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator]], [https://www.oscr.org.uk/about-charities/search-the-register/download-the-scottish-charity-register/ Download the Scottish Charity Register], register export dated 14 October 2026.</ref> It covers charities whose names, purposes, objectives or activities in the register refer to Jewish religion, community, education or culture, using terms such as "Jewish", "synagogue", "Hebrew", "Torah", "Lubavitch" and "Holocaust", the same kind of keyword approach as the [[Jewish charities in England and Wales]] list. It also includes 17 charities identified from other sources whose register entries do not use these terms. Only charities on the current register are included; charities that have been removed from the register are left out.

For charities that have closed or been removed from the register, see [[Former Jewish charities in Scotland]].

The list includes 7 cross-border charities that were established elsewhere in the United Kingdom but are also on the Scottish register, such as the [[Community Security Trust]]. It also includes Messianic and Christian mission bodies whose register entries refer to Jewish people. 5 charities ([[Glasgow Hebrew Burial Society Charitable Fund Association]], [[Jewish Lads & Girls Brigade]], [[Jewish Learning Centre]], [[Lodge Montefiore No 753 Benevolent & Annuity Fund]], [[Lodge Montefiore No 753 Charity Special Projects Fund]]) have the register status "Not Submitted".

The 69 charities with figures had a combined latest recorded income of £124,396,167 and expenditure of £111,150,984. Figures are each charity's most recent year on the register, so financial years differ. Unlike the registers for England and Wales and Northern Ireland, the Scottish register does not record the countries a charity works in (only a general "geographical spread", such as "UK and overseas"), so this list has no "Operates in Israel" column.

'''Lev Tchernoi''' (also spelled Chernoy, Chernoi, Cherney and Tchernoy; born December 1954) is a businessman from Tashkent. In the 1990s he ran the Russian side of [[Trans-World Metals|Trans-World]], the metals group of the brothers [[David Reuben]] and [[Simon Reuben]], as it built up large holdings in the Russian aluminium industry.<ref name="Economist1995">''[[The Economist]]'' (US edition), 21 January 1995, reproduced as [https://www.reubenbrothers.com/king-of-the-castle-russian-aluminium/ King of the castle: Russian aluminium] ''reubenbrothers.com'', accessed 31 October 2026.</ref><ref name="Fortune2000">Richard Behar, [https://fortune.com/2000/04/12/capitalism-in-a-cold-climate/ Capitalism in a cold climate] ''[[Fortune]]'', 12 June 2000 (online 12 April 2000), accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> He and the Reubens sold their main Russian aluminium assets in February 2000 to a group that included [[Roman Abramovich]].<ref name="Berezovsky2012">Mrs Justice Gloster, [https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/JCO/Documents/Judgments/berezovsky-judgment.pdf ''Berezovsky v Abramovich'' [2012] EWHC 2463 (Comm)], approved judgment, High Court (Commercial Court), 31 August 2012, paragraphs 981–985, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> His elder brother is [[Mikhail Tchernoi]].<ref name="Fortune2000" />

==Early life==
His company, [[Elden Group]], says that he was born in December 1954 in Tashkent, then in the Uzbek SSR, and that he entered the Tashkent Polytechnic Institute in 1972.<ref name="EldenAbout">Elden Group, [https://eldengroup.org/about About], ''eldengroup.org'', accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> ''[[Fortune]]'' reported that he had polio as a boy and walks with a severe limp. It said that in the Soviet shadow economy he had become a large trader in timber and fish, among other goods.<ref name="Fortune2000" />

''[[The Guardian]]'' reported that Lev and his brother [[Mikhail Tchernoi|Mikhail]] were employees of a French company called Trans Commodities, and that they left shortly after 1993 to become involved in [[Trans-World Metals|Trans-World]].<ref name="Guardian2003">Nick Kochan, [https://www.theguardian.com/business/2003/jul/06/russia.football The deal that made a Russian oligarch] ''[[The Guardian]]'', 6 July 2003, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> The [[Center for Public Integrity]] reported in 1999 that the New York commodities trader [[Semyon Kislin]] said he knew Lev Chernoy only in passing.<ref name="CPI1999">Knut Royce, [https://www.publicintegrity.org/politics/elections/fbi-tracked-alleged-russian-mob-ties-of-giuliani-campaign-supporter/ FBI tracked alleged Russian mob ties of Giuliani campaign supporter] ''[[Center for Public Integrity]]'', 14 December 1999, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

==Partnership with the Reuben brothers==
''[[The Economist]]'' reported in 1995 that in mid-1992 [[David Reuben]] put together a group of investors to supply the [[Krasnoyarsk Aluminium Smelter|Krasnoyarsk]] smelter with alumina under "tolling" arrangements. To manage the Russian end of the operation, it said, he chose Lev Chernoy, "a Russian from Tashkent who had first approached Mr Reuben with some aluminium for sale". The partnership, [[Trans-CIS Commodities]], was based in Monte Carlo and, according to Reuben, was based on trust rather than written agreements. By June 1994, the paper said, citing the ''Izvestia'' reporter Alexei Tarasov, the partnership and its associated companies held 20% of Krasnoyarsk, around 50% of [[Bratsk Aluminium Smelter|Bratsk]] and 68% of [[Sayansk Aluminium Smelter|Sayansk]].<ref name="Economist1995" />

''[[Fortune]]'' gave David Reuben's account that Lev came to his Moscow office in 1992 and later introduced him to his elder brother. It said that the partnership was never put in writing, and that Lev served as "a sort of Uber-manager", moving between Moscow and the plants in Siberia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan. The magazine referred to the Reubens and the Chernoys together as Trans World's "four principals".<ref name="Fortune2000" /> ''[[Forbes]]'' likewise wrote in 2001 that the Trans-World group "was led by two Russian brothers, Mikhail and Lev Chernoi, and two traders based in Western Europe, David and Simon Reuben".<ref name="Forbes2001">[https://www.forbes.com/global/2001/1126/026.html Gangster-free capitalism] ''[[Forbes]]'', 26 November 2001, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

''Fortune'' reported that both Chernoy brothers moved to Israel in spring 1994 and settled in villas outside Tel Aviv. Lev, it said, put the move down to an illness for which his doctor had advised a change of climate. He continued to oversee operations from abroad and did not return to Russia for more than four years.<ref name="Fortune2000" /> The Center for Public Integrity reported that, according to publicly available research data, Lev had used three New York residences of [[Arik Kislin]] as addresses on at least three occasions between June 1993 and April 1997.<ref name="CPI1999" />

According to ''Fortune'', Lev stayed with Trans-World and ran its Russian business from Israel after the Reubens parted with Mikhail in 1997. His relations with the plant managers had worsened since he left Russia, and by the end of that year Trans-World had lost control of about half of its holdings. Lev moved back to Russia by early 1999.<ref name="Fortune2000" /> The magazine also reported that the Reubens had sent Lev the $22 million used to buy the newspaper ''[[Kommersant]]'' in 1999, which [[Boris Berezovsky]] later said he had bought, and had deducted it from Lev's Trans-World profits.<ref name="Fortune2000" />

==Sale of the aluminium assets==
''[[The Guardian]]'' reported that on 17 February 2000 Lev Chernoi and [[Oleg Deripaska]] met [[Roman Abramovich]] and [[Iskander Makhmudov]] in Moscow. The meeting led to the creation of [[Russian Aluminium]] (Rusal).<ref name="Guardian2003" /> In the [[High Court]] case ''Berezovsky v Abramovich'', Mrs Justice Gloster described [[Trans-World Metals|Trans-World]] as "owned by Mr. Lev Cherney and the Reuben brothers and managed by Mr. Dmitry Bosov". The judgment records that by a Master Agreement, dated 10 February 2000 but in fact concluded on 15 February 2000 and backdated, Lev Cherney, Mr Reuben, [[Dmitry Bosov]] and [[Vasily Anisimov]] agreed to sell shares in the Krasnoyarsk and Bratsk aluminium plants, the Krasnoyarsk hydro-electric power station and the Achinsk alumina refinery. The original price was $550 million, later increased to $575 million.<ref name="Berezovsky2012" />

''Fortune'' put the sale price at $500 million. It reported that the Reubens took one half and Lev was promised the other, and that shortly before the sale Lev held about 32% of Bratsk through two Cyprus companies.<ref name="Fortune2000" /> In an interview with ''Nezavisimaya Gazeta'' published on 25 February 2000, Lev said that he had fully divested his Russian aluminium holdings, according to the [[Jamestown Foundation]].<ref name="Jamestown2000">[https://jamestown.org/chernoy-confirms-selling-off-aluminum-holdings/ Chernoy confirms selling off aluminum holdings] ''[[Jamestown Foundation]]'', 25 February 2000, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

==Litigation against Oleg Deripaska==
Lev Chernoy was one of the claimants, with [[Trans-World Metals]] SA (Bahamas), [[David Reuben]] and [[Simon Reuben]], in a claim in the [[British Virgin Islands]] High Court against [[Bluzwed Metals]], [[Oleg Deripaska]] and others. The claimants alleged that a joint venture set up in late 1994 and 1996 covered all business done with the Sayansk aluminium plant, and that the defendants had ended it without notice in January 1998 after setting up "shadow" companies. The defendants denied that any such general agreement existed. On 22 March 2005 Barrow J (Ag.) gave judgment on the defendants' challenge to service of the claim out of the jurisdiction.<ref name="BVI2005">Barrow J (Ag.), [https://vg.vlex.com/vid/1-trans-world-metals-807331909 ''Trans-World Metals SA (Bahamas), Lev Chernoy, David Reuben and Simon Reuben v Bluzwed Metals Ltd and others'' [2005] ECSC J0322-1], High Court of the British Virgin Islands, claim no. BVIHCV2003/0179, 22 March 2005, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> ''[[The Daily Telegraph]]'' reported in April 2005 that the claimants had won permission to sue Deripaska for $300m in the British Virgin Islands.<ref name="Telegraph2005">Caroline Muspratt, "Reubens sue Russian for $300m", ''[[The Daily Telegraph]]'', 13 April 2005, reproduced as [https://www.reubenbrothers.com/reubens-sue-russian-for-300m/ Reubens Sue Russian for $300m] ''reubenbrothers.com'', accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> ''[[The Sunday Times]]'' reported in July 2005 that Deripaska had settled the dispute, paying the bulk of the money, with a smaller payment still due.<ref name="ST2005">John Waples and Dan Box, "Oligarch settles Reuben dispute", ''[[The Sunday Times]]'', 3 July 2005, reproduced on [https://web.archive.org/web/20070301003934/http:/www.reubenbrothers.com/article46.html reubenbrothers.com] (Wayback Machine copy captured 1 March 2007), accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

==Investigations==
''[[The Guardian]]'' reported in October 1999 that Britain's [[National Criminal Intelligence Service]] had looked at Lev Chernoi, and that he was also being studied by the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation]] and Switzerland's federal office for police matters. A [[Trans-World Metals|Trans-World]] spokesman said that Chernoi was known to the company, as he was to any serious operator in the metals market, but denied that he exercised any control over it.<ref name="Guardian1999">Dan Atkinson, [https://www.theguardian.com/business/1999/oct/13/8 Trans-World denies money laundering] ''[[The Guardian]]'', 13 October 1999, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

The Dublin ''[[Sunday Tribune]]'' reported in 2001 that Lev and his brother [[Mikhail Tchernoi|Mikhail]] had in the past won damages from Russian media over accusations that they were involved in criminal activities in Russia.<ref name="SundayTribune2001">Áine Coffey, "From Russia with many twists", ''[[Sunday Tribune]]'' (Dublin), 4 February 2001, p. 30.</ref>

The Center for Public Integrity reported that a 1996 [[Interpol]] report, citing the Russian police, said that the brothers, natives of Uzbekistan and Israeli citizens, were "suspected of money laundering, embezzlement of funds, contract killing". It added that they had never been convicted, and that the Chernoys and [[David Reuben]] had denied any wrongdoing.<ref name="CPI1999" />

''Fortune'' reported that Russia's Interior Minister, [[Anatoly Kulikov]], said in 1997 that he was intensifying the investigation of Lev and his associates over the theft of more than $100 million from Russia's central bank in the early 1990s. In March 1998 the new Interior Minister dismissed Lev as a criminal target in that inquiry. The ministry had concluded, the magazine said, that there was no proof that the Chernoys knew the money was stolen.<ref name="Fortune2000" /> The magazine also reported payments by the Reubens of more than $1 million in 1996 to [[Anatoly Bykov]], who became a board member of the Krasnoyarsk plant by 1996 and later its chairman. Lev told the magazine: "I have no connections whatsoever with Mr. Bykov".<ref name="Fortune2000" />

In June 2020 the Swiss investigative website ''[[Gotham City]]'' reported that a ruling of the Swiss [[Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland|Federal Supreme Court]] showed that Lev Chernoy, by then living in Israel, was banned from entering Switzerland. It said his name was in the federal police's JANUS database on suspicion of "money laundering, contract killings, fraud and links with a criminal organisation" (translated from the French).<ref name="Gotham2020">[https://gothamcity.ch/2020/06/03/lex-oligarque-lev-chernoy-est-persona-non-grata-en-suisse/ L'ex-oligarque Lev Chernoy est persona non grata en Suisse] ''[[Gotham City]]'', 3 June 2020, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

==Later activities==
[[Elden Group]] describes him as its head and as a professor of economics, and lists books he has written on economics and entrepreneurship. It says he is the main sponsor and honorary president of the Paralympic football club "Lev Tchernoy – Olimpia".<ref name="EldenAbout" /> In a 2016 interview republished by [[BioTech Rosva]], he described the company's grain-processing plant in the Kaluga region of Russia, a project of about 30 billion roubles, and the Olimpia club, based at a Moscow boarding school for children with cerebral palsy.<ref name="Rosva2016">BioTech Rosva, [https://biorosva.ru/en/news-en/video-en/interview-with-lev-chernoi/ Interview with Lev Semenovich Chernoy], ''Vestnik'' (December 2016), republished 6 April 2020, ''biorosva.ru'', accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

'''Mikhail Tchernoi''' (Mikhail Semenovich Chernoy; also spelled Chernoi, Cherney and Tchernoy, and known in Israel and Britain as Michael Cherney; born January 1952) is a Soviet-born businessman who has lived in Israel since 1994. With his younger brother [[Lev Tchernoi]], he was one of the four principals of [[Trans-World Metals|Trans-World]], the metals group of [[David Reuben]] and [[Simon Reuben]], which built up large holdings in the Russian aluminium industry in the 1990s.<ref name="Fortune2000">Richard Behar, [https://fortune.com/2000/04/12/capitalism-in-a-cold-climate/ Capitalism in a cold climate] ''[[Fortune]]'', 12 June 2000 (online 12 April 2000), accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> He later sued [[Oleg Deripaska]] in London for a 20% share of [[Rusal]].

==Early life==
Sources disagree about where he was born.
* A 2009 profile in ''[[Haaretz]]'' said he was the son of ordinary workers, born 57 years earlier in the Ukrainian town of Uman.<ref name="Haaretz2009">Gidi Weitz, interview with Michael Cherney, ''[[Haaretz]]'', 20 November 2009, republished in English as [https://www.novinite.com/articles/111687/Michael+Cherney%3A+On+Deripaska%2C+the+Russian+mafia+and+the+Israeli+police Michael Cherney: On Deripaska, the Russian mafia and the Israeli police] ''[[Novinite]]'', 12 December 2009, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

A 2009 request by the Spanish anti-corruption prosecutor gives his date of birth as 16 January 1952.<ref name="Fiscalia2009">José Grinda González, Fiscalía Especial contra la Corrupción y la Criminalidad Organizada, request for investigative measures, D.P. 101/07, Juzgado Central de Instrucción nº 4, Madrid, 13 March 2009, reproduced as [https://tbcarchives.org/accusation-act-of-izmaylovskaya-case-aschenbrenner-deripaska-makhmudov-in-spain/ Investigation of Izmaylovskaya gang (Chernoi, Deripaska, Makhmudov) in Spain, 2009] ''TBCA'', accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> ''Fortune'' gave his age as 48 in 2000. It said he spelled his name "Cherney" and spoke no English.<ref name="Fortune2000" />

==Trans-World and the Reuben brothers==
According to the 2008 judgment, he was involved with a company called Trans Commodities from 1989 to 1992 and then went into partnership with [[Iskander Makhmudov]]. In 1992 he and his brother [[Lev Tchernoi|Lev]] became 50/50 partners with the Trans World Group (TWG).<ref name="EWHC2008" /> ''Fortune'' gave [[David Reuben]]'s account that Lev came to his Moscow office in 1992 and later introduced him to his elder brother. It said the partnership was never put in writing, and it called the Reubens and the Chernoys together Trans World's "four principals".<ref name="Fortune2000" /> ''[[Forbes]]'' wrote in 2001 that the Trans-World group "was led by two Russian brothers, Mikhail and Lev Chernoi, and two traders based in Western Europe, David and Simon Reuben".<ref name="Forbes2001">[https://www.forbes.com/global/2001/1126/026.html Gangster-free capitalism] ''[[Forbes]]'', 26 November 2001, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> ''The Guardian'' reported that both brothers had been employees of Trans Commodities, a French company, and left shortly after 1993 to become involved in Trans-World.<ref name="Guardian2003">Nick Kochan, [https://www.theguardian.com/business/2003/jul/06/russia.football The deal that made a Russian oligarch] ''[[The Guardian]]'', 6 July 2003, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> ''Fortune'' also reported that he was a 50% partner with the New York trader [[Semyon Kislin]] in a company called Trans Commodities.<ref name="Fortune2000" />

''Fortune'' reported that in 1997 the Reubens paid him about $400 million to sever their ties with him. It said he then worked with plant managers against his former partners, and that by the end of that year Trans-World had lost about half of its holdings.<ref name="Fortune2000" /> In the 2008 judgment, the court recorded that he sold his 25% interest in TWG for $410 million, and that a document referred to a price of $300 million for 25% of Trans-World Metals SA.<ref name="EWHC2008" /> In his 2009 interview with ''Haaretz'', he gave the price of his shares as $400 million.<ref name="Haaretz2009" />

The Dublin ''[[Sunday Tribune]]'' reported in 2001 that, along with [[Oleg Deripaska]], the brothers had worked as "consultants" with Trans-World in the early 1990s as it tried to crack Russia, bringing the company extensive contacts. It said that Tchernoi later managed to "muster managers at Trans-World plants to combine blocks of shares with him and oust Trans-World". The paper also reported that he and [[Lev Tchernoi|Lev]] had in the past won damages from Russian media over accusations that they were involved in criminal activities in Russia.<ref name="ST2001">Áine Coffey, "From Russia with many twists", ''[[Sunday Tribune]]'' (Dublin), 4 February 2001, p. 30.</ref>

==Siberian Aluminium and Oleg Deripaska==
According to the 2008 judgment, he met [[Oleg Deripaska]] in 1993 or 1994. The two became partners in the Sayansk aluminium smelter (SaAZ) in Siberia through a joint venture, and Deripaska became general director of the plant in late 1994.<ref name="EWHC2008" /> In a 2012 judgment, Andrew Smith J summarised Deripaska's pleaded case. It was that he met Tchernoi in May 1994, when Tchernoi introduced himself as a partner in TWG, and that from 1995 he made protection ("krysha") payments to organised crime groups that Tchernoi represented, along with [[Anton Malevsky]] and Sergei Popov. Tchernoi denies these allegations. He says that he and Deripaska were business partners.<ref name="EWHC2012">Andrew Smith J, [https://caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ewhc/comm/2012/1781 ''Cherney v Deripaska'' [2012] EWHC 1781 (Comm)], High Court (Commercial Court), 12 July 2012, paragraphs 5–6, ''Find Case Law'' (The National Archives), accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> In 2009 he told ''Haaretz'' that Deripaska "was like a son to me".<ref name="Haaretz2009" />

By 2001 the two jointly owned Sibirsky Aluminy ([[Siberian Aluminium]], or Sibal).<ref name="Haaretz2009" /> ''Fortune'' reported that after the 2000 sale of Trans-World's main Russian smelters, the [[Sibneft]] group allied itself with him.<ref name="Fortune2000" /> In March 2001 Tchernoi and Deripaska met at the Lanesborough Hotel in London. Deripaska accepts that he later paid Tchernoi $250 million, but he says that this was the final instalment of protection payments.<ref name="Guardian2012Jul" />

==Litigation against Oleg Deripaska==
Tchernoi issued a claim against [[Oleg Deripaska]] in the High Court in London in November 2006.<ref name="EWHC2008" /> In July 2007, through a press release, he pledged that he would give the proceeds of any settlement of his claim against [[Rusal]], which could total $600 million, to the [[Michael Cherney Foundation]].<ref name="Lawfuel2007">[https://www.lawfuel.com/london-lawfuel-the-law-news-network-michael-cherney-the-israe/ Michael Cherney, the Israel-based businessman...] (press release) ''Lawfuel'', 31 July 2007, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

Tchernoi's case was that at the Lanesborough meeting Deripaska agreed to hold 20% of Rusal on trust for him. Rusal merged into United Company Rusal in 2007, and he therefore claimed 13.2% of the merged company, worth about $4.35 billion.<ref name="HSF2009">[https://www.hsfkramer.com/notes/litigation/2009-09/court-appeal-upholds-high-court-finding-litigant-fair-trial-russia Court of Appeal upholds High Court finding that litigant unlikely to get fair trial in Russia] ''[[Herbert Smith Freehills]]'', 22 September 2009, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> Deripaska argued that the agreement was a sham designed to hide the true nature of protection payments.<ref name="Guardian2012Jul" />

The ''[[Jewish Chronicle]]'' reported in July 2008 that Tchernoi was suing [[Oleg Deripaska|Deripaska]] "in an attempt to recover an alleged debt". It said that the dispute centred on a deal that Tchernoi says he struck with Deripaska at a London hotel in 2001, under which he had agreed to sell shares in a Russian aluminium group for $250 million and a 20% stake in a larger company owned by Deripaska. According to the paper, Deripaska denies that the deal ever took place.<ref name="JC2008">Marcus Dysch, "'Assassination risk' leads Russian to sue in London", ''[[Jewish Chronicle]]'', 11 July 2008, p. 9.</ref>

===Jurisdiction rulings===
On 3 July 2008 Christopher Clarke J ruled that the claim could be tried in England.<ref name="EWHC2008" /> He found that Russia was the natural forum for the dispute. He nevertheless allowed the case to go ahead in London, for these reasons:
* Tchernoi had a well-founded fear for his safety and would never take the case to trial in Russia.
* There was a significant likelihood that he would be prosecuted if he returned there, possibly on "trumped up" charges.
* There was "a significant risk of improper government interference" if the claims were brought in Russia.<ref name="HSF2009" />

The judge wrote that "one side or other is plainly telling lies on a grand scale". He said that "a considerable body of evidence" had been put in about Tchernoi's alleged criminality, and noted that Deripaska himself was "the subject of serious allegations".<ref name="EWHC2008" /><ref name="Guardian2012Jul" /> The Court of Appeal dismissed Deripaska's appeal in ''Deripaska v Cherney'' [2009] EWCA Civ 849 on 31 July 2009. It held that the judge had had "cogent evidence" for his findings.<ref name="HSF2009" />

The ''[[Jewish Chronicle]]'' reported the 2008 ruling under the headline "'Assassination risk' leads Russian to sue in London". It said the judge had found that any hearing in Russia could involve "improper interference" because of [[Oleg Deripaska|Deripaska]]'s links to the Russian Prime Minister, [[Vladimir Putin]], and that Tchernoi, "who left Russia for Israel in 1994, could face the threat of assassination and would be unlikely to get a fair hearing".<ref name="JC2008" />

===2012 trial and settlement===
The trial opened in July 2012. ''The Guardian'' reported that Tchernoi was to give evidence from Israel by video link, because a Spanish arrest warrant meant that he could not travel to London.<ref name="Guardian2012Jul" /><ref name="Guardian2012Sep" /> The ''[[Jewish Chronicle]]'' reported that Tchernoi wanted the judge to uphold his claim that he was a partner in an aluminium business with [[Oleg Deripaska]]. It said that Deripaska denied there had been a commercial arrangement between the two men and said instead that the $250 million he had paid Tchernoi was "protection money extorted from him". The paper reported that Tchernoi would give his evidence by video from Tel Aviv, and that he was wanted by Spain over allegations about money laundering and organised crime, according to an [[Interpol]] warrant issued three years earlier, but had remained in Israel.<ref name="JC2012" /> On 12 July 2012 Andrew Smith J ruled on Deripaska's applications for witness protection orders for twelve witnesses living in Russia:
* He granted orders for one witness.
* He deferred his decision on another.
* He refused the remaining applications.
He found that evidence of alleged threats against witnesses in other proceedings, said to have been made on Tchernoi's behalf, was "not of a quality that provides convincing support" for allegations of that seriousness. He added that his refusal implied no criticism of Deripaska or his advisers.<ref name="EWHC2012" />

On 27 September 2012, before either man gave evidence, the case was settled. A statement said that "Mr Deripaska announces that Mr Cherney's litigation in London against him has been terminated". [[Roman Abramovich]] had been due to give evidence for Deripaska.<ref name="Guardian2012Sep" /> The court therefore never ruled on the merits of the claim.

==Move to Israel and citizenship==
According to the 2008 judgment, Tchernoi left the Soviet Union in 1991, emigrated to Israel in 1994 and acquired Israeli citizenship.<ref name="EWHC2008" /> ''Fortune'' reported that both brothers moved to Israel in spring 1994 and settled in villas outside Tel Aviv. It said that he had not returned to Russia since, and that "Israel is now preparing to boot Michael".<ref name="Fortune2000" /> In March 1995 two private investigators in Israel were indicted for plotting to kill him and [[Anton Malevsky]].<ref name="Fortune2000" /> The 2008 judgment records that two former military intelligence officers were jailed over the plot.<ref name="EWHC2008" />

''Haaretz'' reported in 2009 that Israel's Interior Minister, [[Avraham Poraz]], had written to him in 2004. The letter said that, according to information received by the Israel Police, he was responsible for murders and attempted murders carried out on his orders during the struggle for the aluminium market. The paper said this "barely did not cost him his Israeli citizenship". It also reported that he had never been questioned about the 1995 murder in Moscow of the banker Vadim Yafyasov. In 2009, however, Russia's Prosecutor General, [[Yury Chaika]], asked Israel to question him about it.<ref name="Haaretz2009" /> By 2009, ''Haaretz'' said, he lived in a villa in Savyon.<ref name="Haaretz2009" />

==Investigations and allegations==
===Switzerland===
''Fortune'' reported in 2000 that he had been briefly arrested in Switzerland and that an investigation there was continuing.<ref name="Fortune2000" /> The 2009 Spanish prosecutor's request quotes a German police summary of the Swiss proceedings. It says that he was detained in Geneva in November 1996 on suspicion of belonging to a criminal organisation, and that the Geneva proceedings were eventually closed because none of the accusations could be proved.<ref name="Fiscalia2009" /> According to the 2008 judgment, he has never been convicted, and Switzerland's Federal Supreme Court required that a non-suit be entered.<ref name="EWHC2008" /> In May 2010 his foundation issued a press release. It said that a Swiss court had found in 2008 that he had no connection with organised crime, and that the Swiss courts had awarded him CHF 30,000 in compensation for an investigation that ran from 1996 to 2007.<ref name="Marketwire2010">Michael Cherney Foundation, [https://www.sociedaduruguaya.org/2010/05/suiza-paga-al-empresario-michael-cherney-una-indemnizacion-tras-concluir-que-su-investigacion-no-tenia-fundamento.html Suiza paga al empresario Michael Cherney una indemnización tras concluir que su investigación no tenía fundamento] (Marketwire press release), 31 May 2010, republished by ''Sociedad Uruguaya'', accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

===Russia and the United States===
* ''Fortune'' reported that the former FBI agent Joel Bartow spent four years trying to have him indicted for money laundering, and that the FBI regarded him as an organised crime figure.<ref name="Fortune2000" />
* The [[Center for Public Integrity]] reported that a 1996 [[Interpol]] report, citing the Russian police, said the brothers were "suspected of money laundering, embezzlement of funds, contract killing". It added that they had never been convicted and had denied any wrongdoing.<ref name="CPI1999">Knut Royce, [https://www.publicintegrity.org/politics/elections/fbi-tracked-alleged-russian-mob-ties-of-giuliani-campaign-supporter/ FBI tracked alleged Russian mob ties of Giuliani campaign supporter] ''[[Center for Public Integrity]]'', 14 December 1999, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>
* ''Fortune'' reported that he was cleared in Russia's investigation into thefts from the central bank in the early 1990s. In a fax to the magazine, Tchernoi wrote: "I do not possess any exclusive information on the so-called Russian mafia... Sorry to disappoint you."<ref name="Fortune2000" />

In 2006 UPI reported that a State Department official had confirmed that he was refused a US visa in August 2003. The refusal was made under Section 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which bars people believed to be seeking entry to engage in "unlawful activity".
* Tchernoi was a sponsor of the [[Intelligence Summit]], a private conference in Virginia. US officials were warned about attending it.
* The organiser, [[John J. Loftus|John Loftus]], said that Tchernoi had been framed and that a "smear campaign" was being run against him.
* Two former CIA directors, [[James Woolsey|R. James Woolsey]] and [[John Deutch]], withdrew from the event's advisory board. Woolsey said he had received "new information" about the funder.<ref name="UPI2006">Shaun Waterman, [https://www.upi.com/Defense-News/2006/02/18/Intel-summit-overshadowed-by-fund-concern/21551140275801/ Intel summit overshadowed by fund concern] ''[[United Press International]]'', 18 February 2006, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

===Bulgaria===
In August 2000 Bulgaria expelled five businessmen as a threat to national security, Tchernoi first among them, and barred him for ten years. ''[[Lenta.ru]]'', citing Reuters and BTA, reported that he held shares in the mobile operator [[Mobiltel]].<ref name="Lenta2000">[https://lenta.ru/news/2000/08/19/bulgaria/ Болгария выслала из страны пять бизнесменов] (Bulgaria expels five businessmen) ''[[Lenta.ru]]'', 19 August 2000, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> In September 2003 ''Mediapool'' reported that the Sofia City Court had rejected his appeal against the order taking away his right to reside in Bulgaria. Earlier that year the same court had declared void a separate measure refusing him entry, and that ruling was itself under appeal.
* His lawyer, Todor Batkov, said that in 1999 a deputy prime minister in the Kostov government had demanded 34% of Mobiltel free of charge as the price of not expelling him.
* Batkov also said that his client did not intend to return to Bulgaria.
* General Atanas Atanasov, the former head of the National Security Service who signed the order, said that it was lawful.<ref name="Mediapool2003">Martin Nikolaev, [https://www.mediapool.bg/bulgaria/sadat-ostavi-v-sila-zabranata-chorni-da-zhivee-v-bulgaria/ Съдът остави в сила забраната Чорни да живее в България] (The court upheld the ban on Cherney living in Bulgaria) ''Mediapool'', 25 September 2003, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

===Spain===
A Spanish investigation into the alleged laundering of money from the "Izmailovskaya" organised crime group was opened at the Audiencia Nacional in 2007, as case 101/2007-D. In a request dated 13 March 2009, the anti-corruption prosecutor José Grinda named Tchernoi, [[Oleg Deripaska]] and [[Iskander Makhmudov]] as suspects. The request alleged that properties around Moraira and Teulada on Spain's Costa Blanca had been bought for him with the proceeds of crime.<ref name="Fiscalia2009" /> A Spanish judge signed a warrant for his arrest in May 2009.<ref name="Haaretz2009" /> In January 2010 ''Ynet'' reported that [[Interpol]] had issued an international warrant. Tchernoi said the case was probably a product of attempts by Deripaska to destroy his reputation. Deripaska's spokesman denied this.<ref name="Ynet2010">Olga Viniar, [https://www.ynetnews.com/business/article/3835491 Michael Cherney wanted by Interpol] ''[[Ynet]]'' (from ''Calcalist''), 18 January 2010, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

His foundation's 2010 press release said that Israel had refused a Spanish request for his extradition.<ref name="Marketwire2010" /> According to a 2015 summary by Russian prosecutors, quoted by ''TBCA'', the Spanish case was transferred to Russia's Interior Ministry on 7 December 2012 for further investigation.<ref name="Fiscalia2009" /> No sources found say what happened to the Spanish case against Tchernoi after that.

===Israel: the Bezeq case===
Tchernoi was arrested in Israel in 2001. He and the businessman [[Gad Zeevi]] were charged in 2002 with aggravated fraud and money laundering. The prosecution alleged that Zeevi had hidden Tchernoi's part in financing the 1999 purchase of 20% of the telecoms company [[Bezeq]].<ref name="Haaretz2009" /><ref name="NewsruBezeq2015">[https://www.newsru.co.il/israel/21oct2015/bezeq307.html Михаил Черной полностью оправдан по "делу Безека"] (Mikhail Chernoy fully acquitted in the "Bezeq case") ''NEWSru.co.il'', 21 October 2015, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> ''Haaretz'' described it in 2009 as the only indictment brought against him to date. It also reported that an earlier indictment for allegedly bribing an Eilat councillor had been withdrawn.<ref name="Haaretz2009" /> On 21 October 2015 Judge Oded Mudrik of the Tel Aviv District Court acquitted Tchernoi, Zeevi and the other defendants of all charges.<ref name="NewsruBezeq2015" /><ref name="JPost2015">Yonah Jeremy Bob, [https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/cherney-zeevi-acquitted-in-bezeq-affair-after-16-years-429867 Cherney, Zeevi, acquitted in Bezeq Affair after 16 years] ''[[Jerusalem Post]]'', 23 October 2015, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> In June 2016 the court awarded each man about 308,000 shekels towards his defence costs, which ''Ynet'' reported they would donate.<ref name="Ynet2016">Lital Dobrovitsky, [https://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-4820707,00.html לאחר הזיכוי: המדינה תפצה את מיכאל צ'רנוי וגד זאבי] (After the acquittal: the state will compensate Michael Cherney and Gad Zeevi) ''[[Ynet]]'', 26 June 2016, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

==Political links in Israel==
Tchernoi told ''Haaretz'' in 2009 that he had been friends with [[Avigdor Liberman|Avigdor Lieberman]] since the 1996 election campaign. He said that he had voted for Lieberman's party, [[Yisrael Beiteinu]], and that he had never funded any political party.<ref name="Haaretz2009" />
* '''The MCG Holding payment.''' In April 2007 ''Haaretz'' reported that in May 2001, three months after Lieberman became infrastructure minister, a company owned by Tchernoi transferred about $500,000 to a bank in Cyprus. Hundreds of thousands of shekels were then transferred to associates of Lieberman. Tchernoi's lawyer, Yaakov Weinrot, said the money had been for a "wine deal".<ref name="Haaretz2007">Uri Blau and Gidi Weitz, [https://www.haaretz.com/2007-04-25/ty-article/500-000-funneled-to-lieberman-associates/0000017f-f849-d47e-a37f-f97ddbdc0000 $500,000 funneled to Lieberman associates] ''[[Haaretz]]'', 25 April 2007, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>
* '''Questioning in 2007.''' ''Haaretz'' later reported that Tchernoi was questioned in April 2007 on suspicion of bribing Lieberman through his company MCG Holding. He said that he had not known about the transaction and denied giving any bribe.<ref name="Haaretz2009" />
* '''Reported charges in 2009.''' In April 2009 the ''[[Jewish Chronicle]]'' reported, citing Justice Ministry sources, that Lieberman was to be charged with money laundering and fraud. According to the report, "the central allegation is that he laundered tens of millions of dollars for Russian-Israeli businessman Mikhail Chernoi".<ref name="JC2009">Anshel Pfeffer, "Lieberman to be charged with fraud", ''[[Jewish Chronicle]]'', 10 April 2009, p. 2.</ref>
* '''Outcome.''' ''Israel Hayom'' reported that in April 2006 the Attorney-General, [[Menachem Mazuz]], had ordered an investigation into suspicions that Lieberman received millions of dollars from businesspeople abroad, Tchernoi among them. Police recommended charges in 2009. On 13 December 2012 Attorney-General [[Yehuda Weinstein]] decided not to indict Lieberman in that case.<ref name="IsraelHayom2012">[https://www.israelhayom.co.il/article/60980 A glance at how the criminal cases against Lieberman have developed over the course of the last 12 years] ''[[Israel Hayom]]'', 14 December 2012, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

''Haaretz'' also reported on a 2007 case in which the far-right activist [[Avigdor Eskin]] and the private investigators Rafi Pridan and Aviv Mor were arrested over a surveillance operation that mainly targeted Tchernoi. Eskin told investigators that the operation was paid for by Alexey Drobishenko, the director of a company belonging to Deripaska.<ref name="Haaretz2009" />

==Philanthropy==
The [[Michael Cherney Foundation]] says on its website that it was created after the suicide bombing outside the Dolphinarium disco in Tel Aviv on 1 June 2001. It says its main aim is "helping democratic nations in their war on terrorism" and helping post-Soviet immigrants integrate into Israeli society. It also says that before 2001 he gave to charity in Russia, Ukraine, Central Asia, Bulgaria and the US. The foundation published the book ''Dolphinarium: Terror Targets the Young'' and paid for the documentary ''Empty Rooms'', made by the Dutch filmmaker [[Willy Lindwer]].<ref name="CherFund">[http://web.archive.org/web/2008/http://www.cherfund.org/index.php?CurrLang=english Welcome to Michael Cherney Foundation site!] ''cherfund.org'' (Wayback Machine copy, 2008), accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> A 2007 press release listed other projects it had funded:
* Moscow's Maimonides Classical Jewish Academy
* stipends for young Israeli artists
* a rehabilitation wing for gravely injured soldiers at Beit Levenshteyn Hospital
* aid for victims of terrorism

'''Mikhail Tchernoi''' (Mikhail Semenovich Chernoy; also spelled Chernoi, Cherney and Tchernoy, and known in Israel and Britain as Michael Cherney; born January 1952) is a Soviet-born businessman who has lived in Israel since 1994. With his younger brother [[Lev Tchernoi]], he was one of the four principals of [[Trans-World Metals|Trans-World]], the metals group of [[David Reuben]] and [[Simon Reuben]], which built up large holdings in the Russian aluminium industry in the 1990s.<ref name="Fortune2000">Richard Behar, [https://fortune.com/2000/04/12/capitalism-in-a-cold-climate/ Capitalism in a cold climate] ''[[Fortune]]'', 12 June 2000 (online 12 April 2000), accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> He later sued [[Oleg Deripaska]] in London for a 20% share of [[Rusal]].

==Early life==
Sources disagree about where he was born.
* A 2009 profile in ''[[Haaretz]]'' said he was the son of ordinary workers, born 57 years earlier in the Ukrainian town of Uman.<ref name="Haaretz2009">Gidi Weitz, interview with Michael Cherney, ''[[Haaretz]]'', 20 November 2009, republished in English as [https://www.novinite.com/articles/111687/Michael+Cherney%3A+On+Deripaska%2C+the+Russian+mafia+and+the+Israeli+police Michael Cherney: On Deripaska, the Russian mafia and the Israeli police] ''[[Novinite]]'', 12 December 2009, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>
* In a 2008 High Court judgment, Christopher Clarke J said that he was born in the Ukraine and grew up in Uzbekistan.<ref name="EWHC2008">Christopher Clarke J, [https://casenode.ai/case/uk.ewhc.comm.2008.1530/cherney-v-deripaska-2008-ewhc-1530-comm ''Cherney v Deripaska'' [2008] EWHC 1530 (Comm)], High Court (Commercial Court), 3 July 2008, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>
* ''[[The Guardian]]'' has described him as "Uzbekistan-born".<ref name="Guardian2012Jul" />

A 2009 request by the Spanish anti-corruption prosecutor gives his date of birth as 16 January 1952.<ref name="Fiscalia2009">José Grinda González, Fiscalía Especial contra la Corrupción y la Criminalidad Organizada, request for investigative measures, D.P. 101/07, Juzgado Central de Instrucción nº 4, Madrid, 13 March 2009, reproduced as [https://tbcarchives.org/accusation-act-of-izmaylovskaya-case-aschenbrenner-deripaska-makhmudov-in-spain/ Investigation of Izmaylovskaya gang (Chernoi, Deripaska, Makhmudov) in Spain, 2009] ''TBCA'', accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> ''Fortune'' gave his age as 48 in 2000. It said he spelled his name "Cherney" and spoke no English.<ref name="Fortune2000" />

==Trans-World and the Reuben brothers==
According to the 2008 judgment, he was involved with a company called Trans Commodities from 1989 to 1992 and then went into partnership with [[Iskander Makhmudov]]. In 1992 he and his brother [[Lev Tchernoi|Lev]] became 50/50 partners with the Trans World Group (TWG).<ref name="EWHC2008" /> ''Fortune'' gave [[David Reuben]]'s account that Lev came to his Moscow office in 1992 and later introduced him to his elder brother. It said the partnership was never put in writing, and it called the Reubens and the Chernoys together Trans World's "four principals".<ref name="Fortune2000" /> ''[[Forbes]]'' wrote in 2001 that the Trans-World group "was led by two Russian brothers, Mikhail and Lev Chernoi, and two traders based in Western Europe, David and Simon Reuben".<ref name="Forbes2001">[https://www.forbes.com/global/2001/1126/026.html Gangster-free capitalism] ''[[Forbes]]'', 26 November 2001, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> ''The Guardian'' reported that both brothers had been employees of Trans Commodities, a French company, and left shortly after 1993 to become involved in Trans-World.<ref name="Guardian2003">Nick Kochan, [https://www.theguardian.com/business/2003/jul/06/russia.football The deal that made a Russian oligarch] ''[[The Guardian]]'', 6 July 2003, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> ''Fortune'' also reported that he was a 50% partner with the New York trader [[Semyon Kislin]] in a company called Trans Commodities.<ref name="Fortune2000" />

''Fortune'' reported that in 1997 the Reubens paid him about $400 million to sever their ties with him. It said he then worked with plant managers against his former partners, and that by the end of that year Trans-World had lost about half of its holdings.<ref name="Fortune2000" /> In the 2008 judgment, the court recorded that he sold his 25% interest in TWG for $410 million, and that a document referred to a price of $300 million for 25% of Trans-World Metals SA.<ref name="EWHC2008" /> In his 2009 interview with ''Haaretz'', he gave the price of his shares as $400 million.<ref name="Haaretz2009" />

==Siberian Aluminium and Oleg Deripaska==
According to the 2008 judgment, he met [[Oleg Deripaska]] in 1993 or 1994. The two became partners in the Sayansk aluminium smelter (SaAZ) in Siberia through a joint venture, and Deripaska became general director of the plant in late 1994.<ref name="EWHC2008" /> In a 2012 judgment, Andrew Smith J summarised Deripaska's pleaded case. It was that he met Tchernoi in May 1994, when Tchernoi introduced himself as a partner in TWG, and that from 1995 he made protection ("krysha") payments to organised crime groups that Tchernoi represented, along with [[Anton Malevsky]] and Sergei Popov. Tchernoi denies these allegations. He says that he and Deripaska were business partners.<ref name="EWHC2012">Andrew Smith J, [https://caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ewhc/comm/2012/1781 ''Cherney v Deripaska'' [2012] EWHC 1781 (Comm)], High Court (Commercial Court), 12 July 2012, paragraphs 5–6, ''Find Case Law'' (The National Archives), accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> In 2009 he told ''Haaretz'' that Deripaska "was like a son to me".<ref name="Haaretz2009" />

By 2001 the two jointly owned Sibirsky Aluminy ([[Siberian Aluminium]], or Sibal).<ref name="Haaretz2009" /> ''Fortune'' reported that after the 2000 sale of Trans-World's main Russian smelters, the [[Sibneft]] group allied itself with him.<ref name="Fortune2000" /> In March 2001 Tchernoi and Deripaska met at the Lanesborough Hotel in London. Deripaska accepts that he later paid Tchernoi $250 million, but he says that this was the final instalment of protection payments.<ref name="Guardian2012Jul" />

==Litigation against Oleg Deripaska==
Tchernoi issued a claim against [[Oleg Deripaska]] in the High Court in London in November 2006.<ref name="EWHC2008" /> In July 2007, through a press release, he pledged that he would give the proceeds of any settlement of his claim against [[Rusal]], which could total $600 million, to the [[Michael Cherney Foundation]].<ref name="Lawfuel2007">[https://www.lawfuel.com/london-lawfuel-the-law-news-network-michael-cherney-the-israe/ Michael Cherney, the Israel-based businessman...] (press release) ''Lawfuel'', 31 July 2007, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

Tchernoi's case was that at the Lanesborough meeting Deripaska agreed to hold 20% of Rusal on trust for him. Rusal merged into United Company Rusal in 2007, and he therefore claimed 13.2% of the merged company, worth about $4.35 billion.<ref name="HSF2009">[https://www.hsfkramer.com/notes/litigation/2009-09/court-appeal-upholds-high-court-finding-litigant-fair-trial-russia Court of Appeal upholds High Court finding that litigant unlikely to get fair trial in Russia] ''[[Herbert Smith Freehills]]'', 22 September 2009, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> Deripaska argued that the agreement was a sham designed to hide the true nature of protection payments.<ref name="Guardian2012Jul" />

===Jurisdiction rulings===
On 3 July 2008 Christopher Clarke J ruled that the claim could be tried in England.<ref name="EWHC2008" /> He found that Russia was the natural forum for the dispute. He nevertheless allowed the case to go ahead in London, for these reasons:
* Tchernoi had a well-founded fear for his safety and would never take the case to trial in Russia.
* There was a significant likelihood that he would be prosecuted if he returned there, possibly on "trumped up" charges.
* There was "a significant risk of improper government interference" if the claims were brought in Russia.<ref name="HSF2009" />

The judge wrote that "one side or other is plainly telling lies on a grand scale". He said that "a considerable body of evidence" had been put in about Tchernoi's alleged criminality, and noted that Deripaska himself was "the subject of serious allegations".<ref name="EWHC2008" /><ref name="Guardian2012Jul" /> The Court of Appeal dismissed Deripaska's appeal in ''Deripaska v Cherney'' [2009] EWCA Civ 849 on 31 July 2009. It held that the judge had had "cogent evidence" for his findings.<ref name="HSF2009" />

===2012 trial and settlement===
The trial opened in July 2012. ''The Guardian'' reported that Tchernoi was to give evidence from Israel by video link, because a Spanish arrest warrant meant that he could not travel to London.<ref name="Guardian2012Jul" /><ref name="Guardian2012Sep" /> On 12 July 2012 Andrew Smith J ruled on Deripaska's applications for witness protection orders for twelve witnesses living in Russia:
* He granted orders for one witness.
* He deferred his decision on another.
* He refused the remaining applications.
He found that evidence of alleged threats against witnesses in other proceedings, said to have been made on Tchernoi's behalf, was "not of a quality that provides convincing support" for allegations of that seriousness. He added that his refusal implied no criticism of Deripaska or his advisers.<ref name="EWHC2012" />

On 27 September 2012, before either man gave evidence, the case was settled. A statement said that "Mr Deripaska announces that Mr Cherney's litigation in London against him has been terminated". [[Roman Abramovich]] had been due to give evidence for Deripaska.<ref name="Guardian2012Sep" /> The court therefore never ruled on the merits of the claim.

==Move to Israel and citizenship==
According to the 2008 judgment, Tchernoi left the Soviet Union in 1991, emigrated to Israel in 1994 and acquired Israeli citizenship.<ref name="EWHC2008" /> ''Fortune'' reported that both brothers moved to Israel in spring 1994 and settled in villas outside Tel Aviv. It said that he had not returned to Russia since, and that "Israel is now preparing to boot Michael".<ref name="Fortune2000" /> In March 1995 two private investigators in Israel were indicted for plotting to kill him and [[Anton Malevsky]].<ref name="Fortune2000" /> The 2008 judgment records that two former military intelligence officers were jailed over the plot.<ref name="EWHC2008" />

''Haaretz'' reported in 2009 that Israel's Interior Minister, [[Avraham Poraz]], had written to him in 2004. The letter said that, according to information received by the Israel Police, he was responsible for murders and attempted murders carried out on his orders during the struggle for the aluminium market. The paper said this "barely did not cost him his Israeli citizenship". It also reported that he had never been questioned about the 1995 murder in Moscow of the banker Vadim Yafyasov. In 2009, however, Russia's Prosecutor General, [[Yury Chaika]], asked Israel to question him about it.<ref name="Haaretz2009" /> By 2009, ''Haaretz'' said, he lived in a villa in Savyon.<ref name="Haaretz2009" />

==Investigations and allegations==
===Switzerland===
''Fortune'' reported in 2000 that he had been briefly arrested in Switzerland and that an investigation there was continuing.<ref name="Fortune2000" /> The 2009 Spanish prosecutor's request quotes a German police summary of the Swiss proceedings. It says that he was detained in Geneva in November 1996 on suspicion of belonging to a criminal organisation, and that the Geneva proceedings were eventually closed because none of the accusations could be proved.<ref name="Fiscalia2009" /> According to the 2008 judgment, he has never been convicted, and Switzerland's Federal Supreme Court required that a non-suit be entered.<ref name="EWHC2008" /> In May 2010 his foundation issued a press release. It said that a Swiss court had found in 2008 that he had no connection with organised crime, and that the Swiss courts had awarded him CHF 30,000 in compensation for an investigation that ran from 1996 to 2007.<ref name="Marketwire2010">Michael Cherney Foundation, [https://www.sociedaduruguaya.org/2010/05/suiza-paga-al-empresario-michael-cherney-una-indemnizacion-tras-concluir-que-su-investigacion-no-tenia-fundamento.html Suiza paga al empresario Michael Cherney una indemnización tras concluir que su investigación no tenía fundamento] (Marketwire press release), 31 May 2010, republished by ''Sociedad Uruguaya'', accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

===Russia and the United States===
* ''Fortune'' reported that the former FBI agent Joel Bartow spent four years trying to have him indicted for money laundering, and that the FBI regarded him as an organised crime figure.<ref name="Fortune2000" />
* The [[Center for Public Integrity]] reported that a 1996 [[Interpol]] report, citing the Russian police, said the brothers were "suspected of money laundering, embezzlement of funds, contract killing". It added that they had never been convicted and had denied any wrongdoing.<ref name="CPI1999">Knut Royce, [https://www.publicintegrity.org/politics/elections/fbi-tracked-alleged-russian-mob-ties-of-giuliani-campaign-supporter/ FBI tracked alleged Russian mob ties of Giuliani campaign supporter] ''[[Center for Public Integrity]]'', 14 December 1999, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>
* ''Fortune'' reported that he was cleared in Russia's investigation into thefts from the central bank in the early 1990s. In a fax to the magazine, Tchernoi wrote: "I do not possess any exclusive information on the so-called Russian mafia... Sorry to disappoint you."<ref name="Fortune2000" />

In 2006 UPI reported that a State Department official had confirmed that he was refused a US visa in August 2003. The refusal was made under Section 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which bars people believed to be seeking entry to engage in "unlawful activity".
* Tchernoi was a sponsor of the [[Intelligence Summit]], a private conference in Virginia. US officials were warned about attending it.
* The organiser, [[John J. Loftus|John Loftus]], said that Tchernoi had been framed and that a "smear campaign" was being run against him.
* Two former CIA directors, [[James Woolsey|R. James Woolsey]] and [[John Deutch]], withdrew from the event's advisory board. Woolsey said he had received "new information" about the funder.<ref name="UPI2006">Shaun Waterman, [https://www.upi.com/Defense-News/2006/02/18/Intel-summit-overshadowed-by-fund-concern/21551140275801/ Intel summit overshadowed by fund concern] ''[[United Press International]]'', 18 February 2006, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

===Bulgaria===
In August 2000 Bulgaria expelled five businessmen as a threat to national security, Tchernoi first among them, and barred him for ten years. ''[[Lenta.ru]]'', citing Reuters and BTA, reported that he held shares in the mobile operator [[Mobiltel]].<ref name="Lenta2000">[https://lenta.ru/news/2000/08/19/bulgaria/ Болгария выслала из страны пять бизнесменов] (Bulgaria expels five businessmen) ''[[Lenta.ru]]'', 19 August 2000, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> In September 2003 ''Mediapool'' reported that the Sofia City Court had rejected his appeal against the order taking away his right to reside in Bulgaria. Earlier that year the same court had declared void a separate measure refusing him entry, and that ruling was itself under appeal.
* His lawyer, Todor Batkov, said that in 1999 a deputy prime minister in the Kostov government had demanded 34% of Mobiltel free of charge as the price of not expelling him.
* Batkov also said that his client did not intend to return to Bulgaria.
* General Atanas Atanasov, the former head of the National Security Service who signed the order, said that it was lawful.<ref name="Mediapool2003">Martin Nikolaev, [https://www.mediapool.bg/bulgaria/sadat-ostavi-v-sila-zabranata-chorni-da-zhivee-v-bulgaria/ Съдът остави в сила забраната Чорни да живее в България] (The court upheld the ban on Cherney living in Bulgaria) ''Mediapool'', 25 September 2003, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

===Spain===
A Spanish investigation into the alleged laundering of money from the "Izmailovskaya" organised crime group was opened at the Audiencia Nacional in 2007, as case 101/2007-D. In a request dated 13 March 2009, the anti-corruption prosecutor José Grinda named Tchernoi, [[Oleg Deripaska]] and [[Iskander Makhmudov]] as suspects. The request alleged that properties around Moraira and Teulada on Spain's Costa Blanca had been bought for him with the proceeds of crime.<ref name="Fiscalia2009" /> A Spanish judge signed a warrant for his arrest in May 2009.<ref name="Haaretz2009" /> In January 2010 ''Ynet'' reported that [[Interpol]] had issued an international warrant. Tchernoi said the case was probably a product of attempts by Deripaska to destroy his reputation. Deripaska's spokesman denied this.<ref name="Ynet2010">Olga Viniar, [https://www.ynetnews.com/business/article/3835491 Michael Cherney wanted by Interpol] ''[[Ynet]]'' (from ''Calcalist''), 18 January 2010, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

His foundation's 2010 press release said that Israel had refused a Spanish request for his extradition.<ref name="Marketwire2010" /> According to a 2015 summary by Russian prosecutors, quoted by ''TBCA'', the Spanish case was transferred to Russia's Interior Ministry on 7 December 2012 for further investigation.<ref name="Fiscalia2009" /> No sources found say what happened to the Spanish case against Tchernoi after that.

===Israel: the Bezeq case===
Tchernoi was arrested in Israel in 2001. He and the businessman [[Gad Zeevi]] were charged in 2002 with aggravated fraud and money laundering. The prosecution alleged that Zeevi had hidden Tchernoi's part in financing the 1999 purchase of 20% of the telecoms company [[Bezeq]].<ref name="Haaretz2009" /><ref name="NewsruBezeq2015">[https://www.newsru.co.il/israel/21oct2015/bezeq307.html Михаил Черной полностью оправдан по "делу Безека"] (Mikhail Chernoy fully acquitted in the "Bezeq case") ''NEWSru.co.il'', 21 October 2015, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> ''Haaretz'' described it in 2009 as the only indictment brought against him to date. It also reported that an earlier indictment for allegedly bribing an Eilat councillor had been withdrawn.<ref name="Haaretz2009" /> On 21 October 2015 Judge Oded Mudrik of the Tel Aviv District Court acquitted Tchernoi, Zeevi and the other defendants of all charges.<ref name="NewsruBezeq2015" /><ref name="JPost2015">Yonah Jeremy Bob, [https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/cherney-zeevi-acquitted-in-bezeq-affair-after-16-years-429867 Cherney, Zeevi, acquitted in Bezeq Affair after 16 years] ''[[Jerusalem Post]]'', 23 October 2015, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> In June 2016 the court awarded each man about 308,000 shekels towards his defence costs, which ''Ynet'' reported they would donate.<ref name="Ynet2016">Lital Dobrovitsky, [https://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-4820707,00.html לאחר הזיכוי: המדינה תפצה את מיכאל צ'רנוי וגד זאבי] (After the acquittal: the state will compensate Michael Cherney and Gad Zeevi) ''[[Ynet]]'', 26 June 2016, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

==Political links in Israel==
Tchernoi told ''Haaretz'' in 2009 that he had been friends with [[Avigdor Liberman|Avigdor Lieberman]] since the 1996 election campaign. He said that he had voted for Lieberman's party, [[Yisrael Beiteinu]], and that he had never funded any political party.<ref name="Haaretz2009" />
* '''The MCG Holding payment.''' In April 2007 ''Haaretz'' reported that in May 2001, three months after Lieberman became infrastructure minister, a company owned by Tchernoi transferred about $500,000 to a bank in Cyprus. Hundreds of thousands of shekels were then transferred to associates of Lieberman. Tchernoi's lawyer, Yaakov Weinrot, said the money had been for a "wine deal".<ref name="Haaretz2007">Uri Blau and Gidi Weitz, [https://www.haaretz.com/2007-04-25/ty-article/500-000-funneled-to-lieberman-associates/0000017f-f849-d47e-a37f-f97ddbdc0000 $500,000 funneled to Lieberman associates] ''[[Haaretz]]'', 25 April 2007, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>
* '''Questioning in 2007.''' ''Haaretz'' later reported that Tchernoi was questioned in April 2007 on suspicion of bribing Lieberman through his company MCG Holding. He said that he had not known about the transaction and denied giving any bribe.<ref name="Haaretz2009" />
* '''Outcome.''' ''Israel Hayom'' reported that in April 2006 the Attorney-General, [[Menachem Mazuz]], had ordered an investigation into suspicions that Lieberman received millions of dollars from businesspeople abroad, Tchernoi among them. Police recommended charges in 2009. On 13 December 2012 Attorney-General [[Yehuda Weinstein]] decided not to indict Lieberman in that case.<ref name="IsraelHayom2012">[https://www.israelhayom.co.il/article/60980 A glance at how the criminal cases against Lieberman have developed over the course of the last 12 years] ''[[Israel Hayom]]'', 14 December 2012, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

''Haaretz'' also reported on a 2007 case in which the far-right activist [[Avigdor Eskin]] and the private investigators Rafi Pridan and Aviv Mor were arrested over a surveillance operation that mainly targeted Tchernoi. Eskin told investigators that the operation was paid for by Alexey Drobishenko, the director of a company belonging to Deripaska.<ref name="Haaretz2009" />

==Philanthropy==
The [[Michael Cherney Foundation]] says on its website that it was created after the suicide bombing outside the Dolphinarium disco in Tel Aviv on 1 June 2001. It says its main aim is "helping democratic nations in their war on terrorism" and helping post-Soviet immigrants integrate into Israeli society. It also says that before 2001 he gave to charity in Russia, Ukraine, Central Asia, Bulgaria and the US. The foundation published the book ''Dolphinarium: Terror Targets the Young'' and paid for the documentary ''Empty Rooms'', made by the Dutch filmmaker [[Willy Lindwer]].<ref name="CherFund">[http://web.archive.org/web/2008/http://www.cherfund.org/index.php?CurrLang=english Welcome to Michael Cherney Foundation site!] ''cherfund.org'' (Wayback Machine copy, 2008), accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> A 2007 press release listed other projects it had funded:
* Moscow's Maimonides Classical Jewish Academy
* stipends for young Israeli artists
* a rehabilitation wing for gravely injured soldiers at Beit Levenshteyn Hospital
* aid for victims of terrorism

==Russia==
In 1992, the Reuben brothers and their trusted aide, [[Alan Bekhor]], set up an office in Moscow in order to ensure a continued supply of Russian aluminium to their trading firm, [[Trans-World Metals]].
::Reuben teamed up with [[Lev Tchernoi]], a Russian-based commodities, metal and timber dealer who was to act as his main contact in the country. Tchernoi, an invalid after contracting polio as a child, is regarded in the trade as the 'crippled genius' from Tashkent who first helped Reuben get a foothold in Russia. Now an Israeli citizen, he is said to have made a fortune in the Soviet days from a secretive textile business in Uzbekistan.

::Lev's older brother [[Mikhail Tchernoi|Mikhail]], despite having no current connection with Trans -World, was also involved in those early days. Even in London's notoriously gossipy metals trade, it is hard to find people to talk about the Tchernoi brothers. While Lev is generally regarded as 'clean', numerous attempts have been made to smear Mikhail with mafia connections, and the Moscow press has referred to his associates as 'the bandits of Siberia'.<ref>Tsar of Siberia feels the heat, by Ian King, The Guardian, 20 March 1997.</ref>

==Conservative support==
Following a public spat between the brothers and [[Ken Livingstone]], [[David Reuben]] gave £4,000 to [[Boris Johnson]]'s campaign to become Mayor of London in January 2008.<ref>[http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/4cc2e73c-5dc2-11dd-8129-000077b07658.html?nclick_check=1 Reuben brothers give Tories nearly £200,000], by Jim Pickard, FT.com, 30 July 2008.</ref> His son [[Jamie Reuben|Jamie]] also worked on Johnson's campaign and the brothers reportedly assisted their friend [[Jonathan Marland]] in contacting potential donors.<ref>[http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/columnists/pandora/pandora-boris-gets-the-backing-of-kens-billionaire-property-foes-764340.html Boris gets the backing of Ken's billionaire property foes], Pandora column, The Independent, 11 December 2007.</ref>

In July 2008, it emerged that the brothers had donated £186,000 to the Conservatives through six different companies:
::The donations are: £36,000 from [[Motcomb Estates]] last October; £50,000 from [[Investors in Private Capital]] in January; £25,000 apiece from [[Kirkglade]] and [[Wellesley Capital Investment]] in January; and £25,000 from [[Wellington Pub Company]] and [[Criterion Asset Management]] in March.<ref>[http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/4cc2e73c-5dc2-11dd-8129-000077b07658.html?nclick_check=1 Reuben brothers give Tories nearly £200,000], by Jim Pickard, FT.com, 30 July 2008.</ref>

==Background and Trans-World==
Sources differ on the family's origins. ''[[The Guardian]]'' in 2004 said the brothers "were born in Bombay to Jewish parents of Iranian descent", moved to London as teenagers and were raised by their mother and grandmother.<ref name="Guardian2004">James Robinson, [https://www.theguardian.com/business/2004/jun/27/russia Pack up your roubles ...] ''[[The Guardian]]'', 27 June 2004, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> ''Property Week'' in 2004 called them "sons of Iraqi Jews who had moved to India".<ref name="PW2004">Helen Thomas, "Reuben Revealed", ''Property Week'', 23 April 2004, reproduced as [https://www.reubenbrothers.com/reuben-revealed/ Reuben Revealed] ''reubenbrothers.com'', accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> ''The Guardian'' in 2021 said they were "born in Mumbai to Iraqi Jewish parents with an extensive business empire in Baghdad and India" and moved to Britain with their mother in the 1950s.<ref name="Guardian2021">Louise Taylor, [https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/oct/08/newcastle-takeover-guide-to-the-new-key-figures-yasir-al-ruayyan-amanda-staveley-reuben-brothers Newcastle takeover: a guide to the new key figures at St James' Park] ''[[The Guardian]]'', 8 October 2021, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

The 2004 ''Guardian'' profile gives these early careers:<ref name="Guardian2004" />
* [[David Reuben]] joined [[Mount Star Metals]] in 1958 and [[Trans-Continental]] in 1974, then formed Trans-World in 1977.
* [[Simon Reuben]] began importing carpets in 1962 and bought [[J Holdsworth]] in 1965. He formed the property company [[Devereux]], sold it to [[Bovis]] in 1972, and went on to manage [[Trans-World Metals|Trans-World]]'s investments.

The same article says the brothers opened a Russian office in 1991 with [[Lev Tchernoi|Lev Chernoy]]. It reports that, according to the company, by 1995 Trans-World had a turnover of close to £4bn and accounted for 5 per cent of the world's aluminium production. In 2000 the brothers sold the aluminium interests to [[Sibneft]] for £300m.<ref name="Guardian2004" /> A 1998 [[World Bank]] report claimed that Trans-World was founded with $2m borrowed from [[Marc Rich]]; the brothers confirmed business dealings with Rich but denied that he funded the company.<ref name="Guardian2004" />

''Fortune'' later published an "update and clarification" on the brothers. It reported that:<ref name="Fortune2004" />
* in December 2000 [[Kroll WorldWide Associates Inc.|Kroll Associates]], which the brothers had hired, issued a report on six of their metal-trading companies; it found "no evidence of money laundering, or any other illegal activity";
* in August 2001 the Düsseldorf prosecutor's office told the brothers it had ended its money-laundering inquiry;
* the libel claim that the brothers and Trans World brought in June 2001 against the writer [[Richard Behar]] and [[Time Inc.]] had been "resolved on amicable terms".

The same piece notes that the Kroll report did not cover the company's relationship with Lev and Michael Chernoy.

==Business since 2000==
''Property Week'' reported in 2004 that [[Motcomb Estates]] was set up in 1991 to handle the Reubens' property interests. Its staff then included:<ref name="PW2004" />
* [[Malcolm Robin Turner|Robin Turner]], who had worked with the brothers since 1965;
* [[David Leon Baker|David Baker]];
* [[Michael David Gubbay|Michael Gubbay]];
* [[Anne Benjamin]].

The magazine quoted the remark that "there's only one decision-maker at Motcomb and that's Simon Reuben".<ref name="PW2004" />

''Property Week'' reported in December 2002 that [[Motcomb Estates]] had paid £115m for [[Millbank Tower]], buying it from [[Tishman Speyer]].<ref name="PW2002">Editor, [https://www.propertyweek.com/news/motcomb-buys-up-millbank-tower Motcomb buys up Millbank Tower] ''Property Week'', 6 December 2002, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> Its 2004 profile gave the price as £120m.<ref name="PW2004" />

In March 2003 the ''[[Jewish Chronicle]]'' reported that the brothers had launched a website about their business, "breaking with their reclusive past". It put their fortune at an estimated £2.1 billion, made from "a highly successful metals and real estate business", and said: "Their property portfolio includes Millbank Tower and has an estimated value of more than £1 billion — exceeding that of publicly quoted Canary Wharf Group." It quoted [[Philip Beresford]], compiler of the ''Sunday Times'' Rich List, as saying that the Reubens "are now top players in the London property market, recycling their Russian profits".<ref name="JC2003Levitt">Lee Levitt, "Brothers go public over their successes", ''Jewish Chronicle'', 28 March 2003, p. 10.</ref> The Irish ''[[Sunday Tribune]]'' reported in the same week that "over the past few years the Reuben brothers, now in their 60s, have built up a £1.5bn UK commercial property portfolio, including London's Millbank, which once housed the headquarters of the Labour Party."<ref name="ST2003Coffey">Aine Coffey, "Russian aluminium czars set to hit the UK acquisition trail", ''Sunday Tribune'', 30 March 2003, p. 27.</ref>

In August 2003 the ''Jewish Chronicle'' reported that the brothers were in talks to back [[Elliott Bernerd]]'s £880m management buyout of Chelsfield. A spokesman said: "They have been friends for many, many years and, as you would expect, there have been discussions about it. But there is nothing formal at the moment." The paper also reported that the Reubens had invested between £10m and £20m in a property consortium led by [[Tom Hunter]], and described the brothers' portfolio as one that "includes the former Labour Party HQ Millbank Tower and is thought to be worth more than £1 billion."<ref name="JC2003Scodie">Mark Scodie, "Reuben brothers in talks to back Bernerd buyout", ''Jewish Chronicle'', 8 August 2003, p. 7.</ref> In September 2003 it reported that Bernerd had discussed the buyout with "his 'old friends,' the billionaire Reuben brothers".<ref name="JC2003Sep">Mark Scodie, "Bernerd is nearer buy-out", ''Jewish Chronicle'', 12 September 2003, p. 12.</ref> In October 2004 it reported that the Reubens and Bernerd were said to have clashed "over management style", and that [[Westfield]] had bid for Chelsfield.<ref name="JC2004Oct8">Mark Scodie, "Westfield shops for Chelsfield", ''Jewish Chronicle'', 8 October 2004, p. 7.</ref> Two weeks later it reported that Bernerd had agreed to sell Chelsfield for £585m to a joint offer from Westfield, Multiplex and the Reubens, and that the Reubens and Multiplex "will jointly run the remaining properties".<ref name="JC2004Oct22">Mark Scodie, "Bernerd agrees Chelsfield sale", ''Jewish Chronicle'', 22 October 2004, p. 10.</ref>

The [[Reuben Foundation]] is the family's charity; [[David Reuben]] and [[Simon Reuben]] are both directors.<ref name="CH04481304">[[Companies House]], [https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/04481304/officers REUBEN FOUNDATION (04481304): officers] accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> The [[University of Oxford]] announced in June 2020 an £80m gift from the foundation to its newest graduate college, to be named [[Reuben College]]. The gift also expanded the Reuben Scholarship Programme, which the foundation had set up in 2012.<ref name="Oxford2020" /> In 2004 ''Fortune'' reported that the brothers had put $100m into the foundation.<ref name="Fortune2004" /> In March 2003 the ''[[Jewish Chronicle]]'' reported that the brothers had "recently launched the Reuben Foundation charity with a donation of $100 million."<ref name="JC2003Levitt" />

===Nancy Reuben Primary School and Od Yosef Hai===
In 2006 the ''[[Jewish Chronicle]]'' reported that Od Yosef Hai Primary School in Hendon, north London, was to be renamed the Nancy Reuben School, in memory of the brothers' mother. The school "shares premises with Od Yosef Hai Synagogue", and the change came with a £1.5m redevelopment.<ref name="JC2006">''[[Jewish Chronicle]]'', 14 July 2006, reproduced as [https://www.reubenbrothers.com/reuben-school/ Reuben School] ''reubenbrothers.com'', accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> The congregation's own history says the school "through the generosity of the Reuben Brothers became the [[Nancy Reuben Primary School]] in memory of their beloved mother". It adds that "with their generous help and a bank loan" it built a new synagogue, a Beth Hamidrash and a banqueting hall, named the Nancy Reuben Banqueting Hall, at 50 Finchley Lane, Hendon, London NW4 1DJ. The same history records that Od Yosef Hai was set up in 1983 as a yeshiva at 232 Hendon Way, Hendon (see [[Od Yosef Hai Yeshiva College of Rabbinical Studies]]).<ref name="OYHHistory">Od Yosef Hai, [https://odyosefhai.com/history/ History] ''odyosefhai.com'', accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> The foundation's 2023 accounts record grants to the school of £330,000 in 2023 and £500,000 in 2022.<ref name="RF23">[[Companies House]], [https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/04481304/filing-history/MzQ0MTg2NTg4MWFkaXF6a2N4/document?format=pdf&download=0 Reuben Foundation (company 04481304): group accounts made up to 31 December 2023] (filed 4 November 2024), note 9 "Grants payable", PDF pp.27–28, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> The 2024 accounts give £510,000 for 2024 and £300,000 for 2023.<ref name="RF24">[[Companies House]], [https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/04481304/filing-history/MzQ4Mzc1NDQwNWFkaXF6a2N4/document?format=pdf&download=0 Reuben Foundation (company 04481304): group accounts made up to 31 December 2024] (filed 7 October 2025), note 8 "Analysis of grants", PDF p.30 (printed page 28), accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

The ''Jewish Chronicle'' report of 14 July 2006 said that the school was to be renamed "in memory of the mother of David and Simon Reuben", that the complex "is in the midst of a £1.5 million redevelopment project", and that "the school and the Reuben Brothers declined comment on the matter."<ref name="JC2006p17">"Reuben school", ''Jewish Chronicle'', 14 July 2006, p. 17.</ref> Advertisements in the paper in October and November 2006 invited parents to an open morning at "the Nancy Reuben Primary School (formerly known as OYH Primary School)" on Wednesday 8 November 2006 at 9.30am, with application forms available from 48 Finchley Lane, NW4 1DJ.<ref name="JC2006Ads">Advertisement, ''Jewish Chronicle'', 27 October 2006, p. 48; repeated 3 November 2006, p. 58.</ref>

==Israel and Jewish community links==
''Lifestyles'' magazine described the brothers in 2009 as Sephardic Jews. It reported that they had opened two [[Reuben Foundation]] breast-care centres in Israel: one at the [[Meir Medical Centre]] in Kfar Saba in March 2005, and one at the [[Linn Medical Center]] in Haifa, which they opened alongside President [[Shimon Peres]].<ref name="Lifestyles2009">Natalie Madell, "The Brothers Reuben", ''Lifestyles Magazine'', Fall 2009, reproduced as [https://www.reubenbrothers.com/the-brothers-reuben/ The Brothers Reuben] ''reubenbrothers.com'', accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

'''Lev Tchernoi''' (also spelled Chernoy, Chernoi, Cherney and Tchernoy; born December 1954) is a businessman from Tashkent. In the 1990s he ran the Russian side of [[Trans-World Metals|Trans-World]], the metals group of the brothers [[David Reuben]] and [[Simon Reuben]], as it built up large holdings in the Russian aluminium industry.<ref name="Economist1995">''[[The Economist]]'' (US edition), 21 January 1995, reproduced as [https://www.reubenbrothers.com/king-of-the-castle-russian-aluminium/ King of the castle: Russian aluminium] ''reubenbrothers.com'', accessed 31 October 2026.</ref><ref name="Fortune2000">Richard Behar, [https://fortune.com/2000/04/12/capitalism-in-a-cold-climate/ Capitalism in a cold climate] ''[[Fortune]]'', 12 June 2000 (online 12 April 2000), accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> He and the Reubens sold their main Russian aluminium assets in February 2000 to a group that included [[Roman Abramovich]].<ref name="Berezovsky2012">Mrs Justice Gloster, [https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/JCO/Documents/Judgments/berezovsky-judgment.pdf ''Berezovsky v Abramovich'' [2012] EWHC 2463 (Comm)], approved judgment, High Court (Commercial Court), 31 August 2012, paragraphs 981–985, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> His elder brother is [[Mikhail Tchernoi]].<ref name="Fortune2000" />

==Early life==
His company, [[Elden Group]], says that he was born in December 1954 in Tashkent, then in the Uzbek SSR, and that he entered the Tashkent Polytechnic Institute in 1972.<ref name="EldenAbout">Elden Group, [https://eldengroup.org/about About], ''eldengroup.org'', accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> ''[[Fortune]]'' reported that he had polio as a boy and walks with a severe limp. It said that in the Soviet shadow economy he had become a large trader in timber and fish, among other goods.<ref name="Fortune2000" />

''[[The Guardian]]'' reported that Lev and his brother [[Mikhail Tchernoi|Mikhail]] were employees of a French company called Trans Commodities, and that they left shortly after 1993 to become involved in [[Trans-World Metals|Trans-World]].<ref name="Guardian2003">Nick Kochan, [https://www.theguardian.com/business/2003/jul/06/russia.football The deal that made a Russian oligarch] ''[[The Guardian]]'', 6 July 2003, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> The [[Center for Public Integrity]] reported in 1999 that the New York commodities trader [[Semyon Kislin]] said he knew Lev Chernoy only in passing.<ref name="CPI1999">Knut Royce, [https://www.publicintegrity.org/politics/elections/fbi-tracked-alleged-russian-mob-ties-of-giuliani-campaign-supporter/ FBI tracked alleged Russian mob ties of Giuliani campaign supporter] ''[[Center for Public Integrity]]'', 14 December 1999, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

==Partnership with the Reuben brothers==
''[[The Economist]]'' reported in 1995 that in mid-1992 [[David Reuben]] put together a group of investors to supply the [[Krasnoyarsk Aluminium Smelter|Krasnoyarsk]] smelter with alumina under "tolling" arrangements. To manage the Russian end of the operation, it said, he chose Lev Chernoy, "a Russian from Tashkent who had first approached Mr Reuben with some aluminium for sale". The partnership, [[Trans-CIS Commodities]], was based in Monte Carlo and, according to Reuben, was based on trust rather than written agreements. By June 1994, the paper said, citing the ''Izvestia'' reporter Alexei Tarasov, the partnership and its associated companies held 20% of Krasnoyarsk, around 50% of [[Bratsk Aluminium Smelter|Bratsk]] and 68% of [[Sayansk Aluminium Smelter|Sayansk]].<ref name="Economist1995" />

''[[Fortune]]'' gave David Reuben's account that Lev came to his Moscow office in 1992 and later introduced him to his elder brother. It said that the partnership was never put in writing, and that Lev served as "a sort of Uber-manager", moving between Moscow and the plants in Siberia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan. The magazine referred to the Reubens and the Chernoys together as Trans World's "four principals".<ref name="Fortune2000" /> ''[[Forbes]]'' likewise wrote in 2001 that the Trans-World group "was led by two Russian brothers, Mikhail and Lev Chernoi, and two traders based in Western Europe, David and Simon Reuben".<ref name="Forbes2001">[https://www.forbes.com/global/2001/1126/026.html Gangster-free capitalism] ''[[Forbes]]'', 26 November 2001, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

''Fortune'' reported that both Chernoy brothers moved to Israel in spring 1994 and settled in villas outside Tel Aviv. Lev, it said, put the move down to an illness for which his doctor had advised a change of climate. He continued to oversee operations from abroad and did not return to Russia for more than four years.<ref name="Fortune2000" /> The Center for Public Integrity reported that, according to publicly available research data, Lev had used three New York residences of [[Arik Kislin]] as addresses on at least three occasions between June 1993 and April 1997.<ref name="CPI1999" />

According to ''Fortune'', Lev stayed with Trans-World and ran its Russian business from Israel after the Reubens parted with Mikhail in 1997. His relations with the plant managers had worsened since he left Russia, and by the end of that year Trans-World had lost control of about half of its holdings. Lev moved back to Russia by early 1999.<ref name="Fortune2000" /> The magazine also reported that the Reubens had sent Lev the $22 million used to buy the newspaper ''[[Kommersant]]'' in 1999, which [[Boris Berezovsky]] later said he had bought, and had deducted it from Lev's Trans-World profits.<ref name="Fortune2000" />

==Sale of the aluminium assets==
''[[The Guardian]]'' reported that on 17 February 2000 Lev Chernoi and [[Oleg Deripaska]] met [[Roman Abramovich]] and [[Iskander Makhmudov]] in Moscow. The meeting led to the creation of [[Russian Aluminium]] (Rusal).<ref name="Guardian2003" /> In the [[High Court]] case ''Berezovsky v Abramovich'', Mrs Justice Gloster described [[Trans-World Metals|Trans-World]] as "owned by Mr. Lev Cherney and the Reuben brothers and managed by Mr. Dmitry Bosov". The judgment records that by a Master Agreement, dated 10 February 2000 but in fact concluded on 15 February 2000 and backdated, Lev Cherney, Mr Reuben, [[Dmitry Bosov]] and [[Vasily Anisimov]] agreed to sell shares in the Krasnoyarsk and Bratsk aluminium plants, the Krasnoyarsk hydro-electric power station and the Achinsk alumina refinery. The original price was $550 million, later increased to $575 million.<ref name="Berezovsky2012" />

''Fortune'' put the sale price at $500 million. It reported that the Reubens took one half and Lev was promised the other, and that shortly before the sale Lev held about 32% of Bratsk through two Cyprus companies.<ref name="Fortune2000" /> In an interview with ''Nezavisimaya Gazeta'' published on 25 February 2000, Lev said that he had fully divested his Russian aluminium holdings, according to the [[Jamestown Foundation]].<ref name="Jamestown2000">[https://jamestown.org/chernoy-confirms-selling-off-aluminum-holdings/ Chernoy confirms selling off aluminum holdings] ''[[Jamestown Foundation]]'', 25 February 2000, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

==Litigation against Oleg Deripaska==
Lev Chernoy was one of the claimants, with [[Trans-World Metals]] SA (Bahamas), [[David Reuben]] and [[Simon Reuben]], in a claim in the [[British Virgin Islands]] High Court against [[Bluzwed Metals]], [[Oleg Deripaska]] and others. The claimants alleged that a joint venture set up in late 1994 and 1996 covered all business done with the Sayansk aluminium plant, and that the defendants had ended it without notice in January 1998 after setting up "shadow" companies.

==Investigations==
''[[The Guardian]]'' reported in October 1999 that Britain's [[National Criminal Intelligence Service]] had looked at Lev Chernoi, and that he was also being studied by the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation]] and Switzerland's federal office for police matters. A [[Trans-World Metals|Trans-World]] spokesman said that Chernoi was known to the company, as he was to any serious operator in the metals market, but denied that he exercised any control over it.<ref name="Guardian1999">Dan Atkinson, [https://www.theguardian.com/business/1999/oct/13/8 Trans-World denies money laundering] ''[[The Guardian]]'', 13 October 1999, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

The Center for Public Integrity reported that a 1996 [[Interpol]] report, citing the Russian police, said that the brothers, natives of Uzbekistan and Israeli citizens, were "suspected of money laundering, embezzlement of funds, contract killing". It added that they had never been convicted, and that the Chernoys and [[David Reuben]] had denied any wrongdoing.<ref name="CPI1999" />

''Fortune'' reported that Russia's Interior Minister, [[Anatoly Kulikov]], said in 1997 that he was intensifying the investigation of Lev and his associates over the theft of more than $100 million from Russia's central bank in the early 1990s. In March 1998 the new Interior Minister dismissed Lev as a criminal target in that inquiry. The ministry had concluded, the magazine said, that there was no proof that the Chernoys knew the money was stolen.<ref name="Fortune2000" /> The magazine also reported payments by the Reubens of more than $1 million in 1996 to [[Anatoly Bykov]], who became a board member of the Krasnoyarsk plant by 1996 and later its chairman. Lev told the magazine: "I have no connections whatsoever with Mr. Bykov".<ref name="Fortune2000" />

In June 2020 the Swiss investigative website ''[[Gotham City]]'' reported that a ruling of the Swiss [[Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland|Federal Supreme Court]] showed that Lev Chernoy, by then living in Israel, was banned from entering Switzerland. It said his name was in the federal police's JANUS database on suspicion of "money laundering, contract killings, fraud and links with a criminal organisation" (translated from the French).<ref name="Gotham2020">[https://gothamcity.ch/2020/06/03/lex-oligarque-lev-chernoy-est-persona-non-grata-en-suisse/ L'ex-oligarque Lev Chernoy est persona non grata en Suisse] ''[[Gotham City]]'', 3 June 2020, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

==Later activities==
[[Elden Group]] describes him as its head and as a professor of economics, and lists books he has written on economics and entrepreneurship. It says he is the main sponsor and honorary president of the Paralympic football club "Lev Tchernoy – Olimpia".<ref name="EldenAbout" /> In a 2016 interview republished by [[BioTech Rosva]], he described the company's grain-processing plant in the Kaluga region of Russia, a project of about 30 billion roubles, and the Olimpia club, based at a Moscow boarding school for children with cerebral palsy.<ref name="Rosva2016">BioTech Rosva, [https://biorosva.ru/en/news-en/video-en/interview-with-lev-chernoi/ Interview with Lev Semenovich Chernoy], ''Vestnik'' (December 2016), republished 6 April 2020, ''biorosva.ru'', accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

[[Myer Green]] is a retired Glasgow GP and a prominent Zionist activist having acted for some years as the co-ordinator of [[Scottish Friends of Israel]].<Ref>https://www.linkedin.com/in/myer-green-42670355/?originalSubdomain=uk</ref> By 2010 Green had became a settler colonist in 'Netanya' in occupied Palestine.<ref>https://www.heraldscotland.com/opinion/24067412.israels-actions-put-perspective-decades-terrorism/</ref>
==Activities==
===2010===
:Back in 2010, the Jewish Chronicle described [[Mick Davis]] as an outspoken critic of Israel. At that time, [[Lucille Cohen]], the president of the [[Manchester Jewish Representative Council]], doubted that Davis’s opinions reflected those of the majority of British Jews but warned that his views would lead to “a growing misguided influence of post-Zionism in our youth which is detrimental to their understanding of Israel.” Lucille Cohen now lives in Israel. How right she was. [[Myer Green]], co-founder of [[Scottish Friends of Israel]] and now a resident of Netanya, warned back then that he was taken aback by the attitude of [[Mick Davis]] which, he said, “legitimized the language and perception of Israel's enemies by suggesting that Israel's might be heading along the path to apartheid."<ref>https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/322811</ref>
===2008===
:The 700 arrivals at Glasgow’s Israel at 60 party at Eastwood Park, Giffnock, received “passports” to enter a mock-up of Ben Gurion airport lounge and then an Israeli market place. Their target was to win prizes by collecting stamps for activities including making kites, jewellery and key rings and decorating a cookie. Other popular pursuits were face painting and a quiz challenge from [[JLGB]]. Self-defence and a magic show were other elements of a diverse programme and a particular hit with the kids was a mini-zoo with snakes, chickens, rabbits and tortoises. Queues formed for the bouncy castles.

:[[UJIA Scotland|UJIA]] and Enjoy — comprising representatives from Glasgow’s five Orthodox congregations — ran the youth component and UJIA’s [[Ben Freeman]] told the JC: “We worked well together. It has been a truly amazing evening.” Adults enjoyed a celebration concert in the Eastwood Park Theatre where the star attractions were singer/comedian [[Daniel Cainer]] and Israeli singer [[Avivit]].

:A highlight of the evening was an exhibition devoted to recent Israeli breakthroughs in medicine, science and technology, produced by Dr [[Myer Green]] and Dr [[Walter Sneader]], assisted by Dr [[Michael Greenhill]]. The exhibition will be available to schools, synagogues and other interested organisations.<ref>https://www.thejc.com/news/community/glasgow-guests-enjoy-passport-privileges-lcizvejp</ref>
===2007===
:We have been notified by Mr [[Myer Green]] that a comment submitted under the name of M. Green on the blog was not in fact written by Dr Myer Green. We deplore this attempt by someone to imply that they were Mr Myer Green of [[Scottish Friends of Israel]]. Our initial investigations have resulted in the discovery that the messages posted by [[A Machor]] and the fraudulent M Green were sent from the same computer. These messages have now been removed.

:Once our investigations are completed and if we discover the identity of the person concerned we will inform Mr Green of their identity as well as the appropriate authorities. They will not be allowed to take any further part in the blog. We have set this blog up for the benefit of communal discussion and debate and we ask everyone to use it responsibly.<ref>https://gjef.org.uk/2007/01/</ref>

==Russia==
In 1992, the Reuben brothers and their trusted aide, [[Alan Bekhor]], set up an office in Moscow in order to ensure a continued supply of Russian aluminium to their trading firm, [[Trans-World Metals]].
::Reuben teamed up with [[Lev Tchernoi]], a Russian-based commodities, metal and timber dealer who was to act as his main contact in the country. Tchernoi, an invalid after contracting polio as a child, is regarded in the trade as the 'crippled genius' from Tashkent who first helped Reuben get a foothold in Russia. Now an Israeli citizen, he is said to have made a fortune in the Soviet days from a secretive textile business in Uzbekistan.

::Lev's older brother [[Mikhail Tchernoi|Mikhail]], despite having no current connection with Trans -World, was also involved in those early days. Even in London's notoriously gossipy metals trade, it is hard to find people to talk about the Tchernoi brothers. While Lev is generally regarded as 'clean', numerous attempts have been made to smear Mikhail with mafia connections, and the Moscow press has referred to his associates as 'the bandits of Siberia'.<ref>Tsar of Siberia feels the heat, by Ian King, The Guardian, 20 March 1997.</ref>

==Conservative support==
Following a public spat between the brothers and [[Ken Livingstone]], [[David Reuben]] gave £4,000 to [[Boris Johnson]]'s campaign to become Mayor of London in January 2008.<ref>[http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/4cc2e73c-5dc2-11dd-8129-000077b07658.html?nclick_check=1 Reuben brothers give Tories nearly £200,000], by Jim Pickard, FT.com, 30 July 2008.</ref> His son [[Jamie Reuben|Jamie]] also worked on Johnson's campaign and the brothers reportedly assisted their friend [[Jonathan Marland]] in contacting potential donors.<ref>[http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/columnists/pandora/pandora-boris-gets-the-backing-of-kens-billionaire-property-foes-764340.html Boris gets the backing of Ken's billionaire property foes], Pandora column, The Independent, 11 December 2007.</ref>

In July 2008, it emerged that the brothers had donated £186,000 to the Conservatives through six different companies:
::The donations are: £36,000 from [[Motcomb Estates]] last October; £50,000 from [[Investors in Private Capital]] in January; £25,000 apiece from [[Kirkglade]] and [[Wellesley Capital Investment]] in January; and £25,000 from [[Wellington Pub Company]] and [[Criterion Asset Management]] in March.<ref>[http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/4cc2e73c-5dc2-11dd-8129-000077b07658.html?nclick_check=1 Reuben brothers give Tories nearly £200,000], by Jim Pickard, FT.com, 30 July 2008.</ref>

==Background and Trans-World==
Sources differ on the family's origins. ''[[The Guardian]]'' in 2004 said the brothers "were born in Bombay to Jewish parents of Iranian descent", moved to London as teenagers and were raised by their mother and grandmother.<ref name="Guardian2004">James Robinson, [https://www.theguardian.com/business/2004/jun/27/russia Pack up your roubles ...] ''[[The Guardian]]'', 27 June 2004, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> ''Property Week'' in 2004 called them "sons of Iraqi Jews who had moved to India".<ref name="PW2004">Helen Thomas, "Reuben Revealed", ''Property Week'', 23 April 2004, reproduced as [https://www.reubenbrothers.com/reuben-revealed/ Reuben Revealed] ''reubenbrothers.com'', accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> ''The Guardian'' in 2021 said they were "born in Mumbai to Iraqi Jewish parents with an extensive business empire in Baghdad and India" and moved to Britain with their mother in the 1950s.<ref name="Guardian2021">Louise Taylor, [https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/oct/08/newcastle-takeover-guide-to-the-new-key-figures-yasir-al-ruayyan-amanda-staveley-reuben-brothers Newcastle takeover: a guide to the new key figures at St James' Park] ''[[The Guardian]]'', 8 October 2021, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

The 2004 ''Guardian'' profile gives these early careers:<ref name="Guardian2004" />
* [[David Reuben]] joined [[Mount Star Metals]] in 1958 and [[Trans-Continental]] in 1974, then formed Trans-World in 1977.
* [[Simon Reuben]] began importing carpets in 1962 and bought [[J Holdsworth]] in 1965. He formed the property company [[Devereux]], sold it to [[Bovis]] in 1972, and went on to manage [[Trans-World Metals|Trans-World]]'s investments.

The same article says the brothers opened a Russian office in 1991 with [[Lev Tchernoi|Lev Chernoy]]. It reports that, according to the company, by 1995 Trans-World had a turnover of close to £4bn and accounted for 5 per cent of the world's aluminium production. In 2000 the brothers sold the aluminium interests to [[Sibneft]] for £300m.<ref name="Guardian2004" /> A 1998 [[World Bank]] report claimed that Trans-World was founded with $2m borrowed from [[Marc Rich]]; the brothers confirmed business dealings with Rich but denied that he funded the company.<ref name="Guardian2004" />

''Fortune'' later published an "update and clarification" on the brothers. It reported that:<ref name="Fortune2004" />
* in December 2000 [[Kroll WorldWide Associates Inc.|Kroll Associates]], which the brothers had hired, issued a report on six of their metal-trading companies; it found "no evidence of money laundering, or any other illegal activity";
* in August 2001 the Düsseldorf prosecutor's office told the brothers it had ended its money-laundering inquiry;
* the libel claim that the brothers and Trans World brought in June 2001 against the writer [[Richard Behar]] and [[Time Inc.]] had been "resolved on amicable terms".

The same piece notes that the Kroll report did not cover the company's relationship with Lev and Michael Chernoy.

==Business since 2000==
''Property Week'' reported in 2004 that [[Motcomb Estates]] was set up in 1991 to handle the Reubens' property interests. Its staff then included:<ref name="PW2004" />
* [[Malcolm Robin Turner|Robin Turner]], who had worked with the brothers since 1965;
* [[David Leon Baker|David Baker]];
* [[Michael David Gubbay|Michael Gubbay]];
* [[Anne Benjamin]].

The magazine quoted the remark that "there's only one decision-maker at Motcomb and that's Simon Reuben".<ref name="PW2004" />

''Property Week'' reported in December 2002 that [[Motcomb Estates]] had paid £115m for [[Millbank Tower]], buying it from [[Tishman Speyer]].<ref name="PW2002">Editor, [https://www.propertyweek.com/news/motcomb-buys-up-millbank-tower Motcomb buys up Millbank Tower] ''Property Week'', 6 December 2002, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> Its 2004 profile gave the price as £120m.<ref name="PW2004" />

In March 2003 the ''[[Jewish Chronicle]]'' reported that the brothers had launched a website about their business, "breaking with their reclusive past". It put their fortune at an estimated £2.1 billion, made from "a highly successful metals and real estate business", and said: "Their property portfolio includes Millbank Tower and has an estimated value of more than £1 billion — exceeding that of publicly quoted Canary Wharf Group." It quoted [[Philip Beresford]], compiler of the ''Sunday Times'' Rich List, as saying that the Reubens "are now top players in the London property market, recycling their Russian profits".<ref name="JC2003Levitt">Lee Levitt, "Brothers go public over their successes", ''Jewish Chronicle'', 28 March 2003, p. 10.</ref> The Irish ''[[Sunday Tribune]]'' reported in the same week that "over the past few years the Reuben brothers, now in their 60s, have built up a £1.5bn UK commercial property portfolio, including London's Millbank, which once housed the headquarters of the Labour Party."<ref name="ST2003Coffey">Aine Coffey, "Russian aluminium czars set to hit the UK acquisition trail", ''Sunday Tribune'', 30 March 2003, p. 27.</ref>

In August 2003 the ''Jewish Chronicle'' reported that the brothers were in talks to back [[Elliott Bernerd]]'s £880m management buyout of Chelsfield. A spokesman said: "They have been friends for many, many years and, as you would expect, there have been discussions about it. But there is nothing formal at the moment." The paper also reported a £10–20m investment in a shopping-centre consortium led by [[Tom Hunter]], and described the brothers' portfolio as one that "includes the former Labour Party HQ Millbank Tower and is thought to be worth more than £1 billion."<ref name="JC2003Scodie">Mark Scodie, "Reuben brothers in talks to back Bernerd", ''Jewish Chronicle'', 8 August 2003, p. 7.</ref> In September 2003 it reported that Bernerd had discussed the buyout with "his 'old friends,' the billionaire Reuben brothers".<ref name="JC2003Sep">''Jewish Chronicle'', 12 September 2003, p. 12.</ref> In October 2004 it reported that the Reubens had clashed with Bernerd "over management style", and that [[Westfield]] had bid for Chelsfield.<ref name="JC2004Oct8">''Jewish Chronicle'', 8 October 2004, p. 7.</ref> Two weeks later it reported that Bernerd had agreed to sell Chelsfield for £585m to a joint offer from Westfield, Multiplex and the Reubens, and that the Reubens and Multiplex "will jointly run the remaining properties".<ref name="JC2004Oct22">''Jewish Chronicle'', 22 October 2004, p. 10.</ref>

===Nancy Reuben Primary School and Od Yosef Hai===
In 2006 the ''[[Jewish Chronicle]]'' reported that Od Yosef Hai Primary School in Hendon, north London, was to be renamed the Nancy Reuben School, in memory of the brothers' mother. The school "shares premises with Od Yosef Hai Synagogue", and the change came with a £1.5m redevelopment.<ref name="JC2006">''[[Jewish Chronicle]]'', 14 July 2006, reproduced as [https://www.reubenbrothers.com/reuben-school/ Reuben School] ''reubenbrothers.com'', accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> The congregation's own history says the school "through the generosity of the Reuben Brothers became the [[Nancy Reuben Primary School]] in memory of their beloved mother". It adds that "with their generous help and a bank loan" it built a new synagogue, a Beth Hamidrash and a banqueting hall, named the Nancy Reuben Banqueting Hall, at 50 Finchley Lane, Hendon, London NW4 1DJ.

'''Lev Tchernoi''' (also spelled Chernoy, Chernoi, Cherney and Tchernoy; born December 1954) is a businessman from Tashkent. In the 1990s he ran the Russian side of [[Trans-World Metals|Trans-World]], the metals group of the brothers [[David Reuben]] and [[Simon Reuben]], as it built up large holdings in the Russian aluminium industry.<ref name="Economist1995">''[[The Economist]]'' (US edition), 21 January 1995, reproduced as [https://www.reubenbrothers.com/king-of-the-castle-russian-aluminium/ King of the castle: Russian aluminium] ''reubenbrothers.com'', accessed 31 October 2026.</ref><ref name="Fortune2000">Richard Behar, [https://fortune.com/2000/04/12/capitalism-in-a-cold-climate/ Capitalism in a cold climate] ''[[Fortune]]'', 12 June 2000 (online 12 April 2000), accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> He and the Reubens sold their main Russian aluminium assets in February 2000 to a group that included [[Roman Abramovich]].<ref name="Berezovsky2012">Mrs Justice Gloster, [https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/JCO/Documents/Judgments/berezovsky-judgment.pdf ''Berezovsky v Abramovich'' [2012] EWHC 2463 (Comm)], approved judgment, High Court (Commercial Court), 31 August 2012, paragraphs 981–985, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> His elder brother is [[Mikhail Chernoy]].<ref name="Fortune2000" />

==Early life==
His company, [[Elden Group]], says that he was born in December 1954 in Tashkent, then in the Uzbek SSR, and that he entered the Tashkent Polytechnic Institute in 1972.<ref name="EldenAbout">Elden Group, [https://eldengroup.org/about About], ''eldengroup.org'', accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> ''[[Fortune]]'' reported that he had polio as a boy and walks with a severe limp. It said that in the Soviet shadow economy he had become a large trader in timber and fish, among other goods.<ref name="Fortune2000" />

''[[The Guardian]]'' reported that Lev and his brother [[Mikhail Chernoy|Mikhail]] were employees of a French company called Trans Commodities, and that they left shortly after 1993 to become involved in [[Trans-World Metals|Trans-World]].<ref name="Guardian2003">Nick Kochan, [https://www.theguardian.com/business/2003/jul/06/russia.football The deal that made a Russian oligarch] ''[[The Guardian]]'', 6 July 2003, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> The [[Center for Public Integrity]] reported in 1999 that the New York commodities trader [[Semyon Kislin]] said he knew Lev Chernoy only in passing.<ref name="CPI1999">Knut Royce, [https://www.publicintegrity.org/politics/elections/fbi-tracked-alleged-russian-mob-ties-of-giuliani-campaign-supporter/ FBI tracked alleged Russian mob ties of Giuliani campaign supporter] ''[[Center for Public Integrity]]'', 14 December 1999, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

==Partnership with the Reuben brothers==
''[[The Economist]]'' reported in 1995 that in mid-1992 [[David Reuben]] put together a group of investors to supply the [[Krasnoyarsk Aluminium Smelter|Krasnoyarsk]] smelter with alumina under "tolling" arrangements. To manage the Russian end of the operation, it said, he chose Lev Chernoy, "a Russian from Tashkent who had first approached Mr Reuben with some aluminium for sale". The partnership, [[Trans-CIS Commodities]], was based in Monte Carlo and, according to Reuben, was based on trust rather than written agreements. By June 1994, the paper said, citing the ''Izvestia'' reporter Alexei Tarasov, the partnership and its associated companies held 20% of Krasnoyarsk, around 50% of [[Bratsk Aluminium Smelter|Bratsk]] and 68% of [[Sayansk Aluminium Smelter|Sayansk]].<ref name="Economist1995" />

''[[Fortune]]'' gave David Reuben's account that Lev came to his Moscow office in 1992 and later introduced him to his elder brother. It said that the partnership was never put in writing, and that Lev served as "a sort of Uber-manager", moving between Moscow and the plants in Siberia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan. The magazine referred to the Reubens and the Chernoys together as Trans World's "four principals".<ref name="Fortune2000" /> ''[[Forbes]]'' likewise wrote in 2001 that the Trans-World group "was led by two Russian brothers, Mikhail and Lev Chernoi, and two traders based in Western Europe, David and Simon Reuben".<ref name="Forbes2001">[https://www.forbes.com/global/2001/1126/026.html Gangster-free capitalism] ''[[Forbes]]'', 26 November 2001, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

''Fortune'' reported that both Chernoy brothers moved to Israel in spring 1994 and settled in villas outside Tel Aviv. Lev, it said, put the move down to an illness for which his doctor had advised a change of climate. He continued to oversee operations from abroad and did not return to Russia for more than four years.<ref name="Fortune2000" /> The Center for Public Integrity reported that, according to publicly available research data, Lev had used three New York residences of [[Arik Kislin]] as addresses on at least three occasions between June 1993 and April 1997.<ref name="CPI1999" />

According to ''Fortune'', Lev stayed with Trans-World and ran its Russian business from Israel after the Reubens parted with Mikhail in 1997. His relations with the plant managers had worsened since he left Russia, and by the end of that year Trans-World had lost control of about half of its holdings. Lev moved back to Russia by early 1999.<ref name="Fortune2000" /> The magazine also reported that the Reubens had sent Lev the $22 million used to buy the newspaper ''[[Kommersant]]'' in 1999, which [[Boris Berezovsky]] later said he had bought, and had deducted it from Lev's Trans-World profits.<ref name="Fortune2000" />

==Sale of the aluminium assets==
''[[The Guardian]]'' reported that on 17 February 2000 Lev Chernoi and [[Oleg Deripaska]] met [[Roman Abramovich]] and [[Iskander Makhmudov]] in Moscow. The meeting led to the creation of [[Russian Aluminium]] (Rusal).<ref name="Guardian2003" /> In the [[High Court]] case ''Berezovsky v Abramovich'', Mrs Justice Gloster described [[Trans-World Metals|Trans-World]] as "owned by Mr. Lev Cherney and the Reuben brothers and managed by Mr. Dmitry Bosov". The judgment records that by a Master Agreement, dated 10 February 2000 but in fact concluded on 15 February 2000 and backdated, Lev Cherney, Mr Reuben, [[Dmitry Bosov]] and [[Vasily Anisimov]] agreed to sell shares in the Krasnoyarsk and Bratsk aluminium plants, the Krasnoyarsk hydro-electric power station and the Achinsk alumina refinery. The original price was $550 million, later increased to $575 million.<ref name="Berezovsky2012" />

''Fortune'' put the sale price at $500 million. It reported that the Reubens took one half and Lev was promised the other, and that shortly before the sale Lev held about 32% of Bratsk through two Cyprus companies.<ref name="Fortune2000" /> In an interview with ''Nezavisimaya Gazeta'' published on 25 February 2000, Lev said that he had fully divested his Russian aluminium holdings, according to the [[Jamestown Foundation]].<ref name="Jamestown2000">[https://jamestown.org/chernoy-confirms-selling-off-aluminum-holdings/ Chernoy confirms selling off aluminum holdings] ''[[Jamestown Foundation]]'', 25 February 2000, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

==Litigation against Oleg Deripaska==
Lev Chernoy was one of the claimants, with [[Trans-World Metals]] SA (Bahamas), [[David Reuben]] and [[Simon Reuben]], in a claim in the [[British Virgin Islands]] High Court against [[Bluzwed Metals]], [[Oleg Deripaska]] and others. The claimants alleged that a joint venture set up in late 1994 and 1996 covered all business done with the Sayansk aluminium plant, and that the defendants had ended it without notice in January 1998 after setting up "shadow" companies. The defendants denied that any such general agreement existed. On 22 March 2005 Barrow J (Ag.) gave judgment on the defendants' challenge to service of the claim out of the jurisdiction.<ref name="BVI2005">Barrow J (Ag.), [https://vg.vlex.com/vid/1-trans-world-metals-807331909 ''Trans-World Metals SA (Bahamas), Lev Chernoy, David Reuben and Simon Reuben v Bluzwed Metals Ltd and others'' [2005] ECSC J0322-1], High Court of the British Virgin Islands, claim no.

==Investigations==
''[[The Guardian]]'' reported in October 1999 that Britain's [[National Criminal Intelligence Service]] had looked at Lev Chernoi, and that he was also being studied by the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation]] and Switzerland's federal office for police matters. A [[Trans-World Metals|Trans-World]] spokesman said that Chernoi was known to the company, as he was to any serious operator in the metals market, but denied that he exercised any control over it.<ref name="Guardian1999">Dan Atkinson, [https://www.theguardian.com/business/1999/oct/13/8 Trans-World denies money laundering] ''[[The Guardian]]'', 13 October 1999, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

The Center for Public Integrity reported that a 1996 [[Interpol]] report, citing the Russian police, said that the brothers, natives of Uzbekistan and Israeli citizens, were "suspected of money laundering, embezzlement of funds, contract killing". It added that they had never been convicted, and that the Chernoys and [[David Reuben]] had denied any wrongdoing.<ref name="CPI1999" />

''Fortune'' reported that Russia's Interior Minister, [[Anatoly Kulikov]], said in 1997 that he was intensifying the investigation of Lev and his associates over the theft of more than $100 million from Russia's central bank in the early 1990s. In March 1998 the new Interior Minister dismissed Lev as a criminal target in that inquiry. The ministry had concluded, the magazine said, that there was no proof that the Chernoys knew the money was stolen.<ref name="Fortune2000" /> The magazine also reported payments by the Reubens of more than $1 million in 1996 to [[Anatoly Bykov]], who became a board member of the Krasnoyarsk plant by 1996 and later its chairman. Lev told the magazine: "I have no connections whatsoever with Mr. Bykov".<ref name="Fortune2000" />

In June 2020 the Swiss investigative website ''[[Gotham City]]'' reported that a ruling of the Swiss [[Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland|Federal Supreme Court]] showed that Lev Chernoy, by then living in Israel, was banned from entering Switzerland. It said his name was in the federal police's JANUS database on suspicion of "money laundering, contract killings, fraud and links with a criminal organisation" (translated from the French).<ref name="Gotham2020">[https://gothamcity.ch/2020/06/03/lex-oligarque-lev-chernoy-est-persona-non-grata-en-suisse/ L'ex-oligarque Lev Chernoy est persona non grata en Suisse] ''[[Gotham City]]'', 3 June 2020, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

==Later activities==
[[Elden Group]] describes him as its head and as a professor of economics, and lists books he has written on economics and entrepreneurship. It says he is the main sponsor and honorary president of the Paralympic football club "Lev Tchernoy – Olimpia".<ref name="EldenAbout" /> In a 2016 interview republished by [[BioTech Rosva]], he described the company's grain-processing plant in the Kaluga region of Russia, a project of about 30 billion roubles, and the Olimpia club, based at a Moscow boarding school for children with cerebral palsy.<ref name="Rosva2016">BioTech Rosva, [https://biorosva.ru/en/news-en/video-en/interview-with-lev-chernoi/ Interview with Lev Semenovich Chernoy], ''Vestnik'' (December 2016), republished 6 April 2020, ''biorosva.ru'', accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

Billionaire brothers [[David Reuben| David]] and [[Simon Reuben]] made a fortune in the aluminium business in Russia in the 1990s, and are now among the UK's largest property investors.<ref name="Fortune2004">[http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2004/07/12/375898/index.htm David and Simon Reuben: Update and Clarification], Fortune, 12 July 2004.

==Russia==
In 1992, the Reuben brothers and their trusted aide, [[Alan Bekhor]], set up an office in Moscow in order to ensure a continued supply of Russian aluminium to their trading firm, [[Trans-World Metals]].
::Reuben teamed up with [[Lev Tchernoi]], a Russian-based commodities, metal and timber dealer who was to act as his main contact in the country. Tchernoi, an invalid after contracting polio as a child, is regarded in the trade as the 'crippled genius' from Tashkent who first helped Reuben get a foothold in Russia. Now an Israeli citizen, he is said to have made a fortune in the Soviet days from a secretive textile business in Uzbekistan.

::Lev's older brother [[Mikhail Tchernoi|Mikhail]], despite having no current connection with Trans -World, was also involved in those early days. Even in London's notoriously gossipy metals trade, it is hard to find people to talk about the Tchernoi brothers. While Lev is generally regarded as 'clean', numerous attempts have been made to smear Mikhail with mafia connections, and the Moscow press has referred to his associates as 'the bandits of Siberia'.<ref>Tsar of Siberia feels the heat, by Ian King, The Guardian, 20 March 1997.</ref>

==Conservative support==
Following a public spat between the brothers and [[Ken Livingstone]], [[David Reuben]] gave £4,000 to [[Boris Johnson]]'s campaign to become Mayor of London in January 2008.<ref>[http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/4cc2e73c-5dc2-11dd-8129-000077b07658.html?nclick_check=1 Reuben brothers give Tories nearly £200,000], by Jim Pickard, FT.com, 30 July 2008.</ref> His son [[Jamie Reuben|Jamie]] also worked on Johnson's campaign and the brothers reportedly assisted their friend [[Jonathan Marland]] in contacting potential donors.<ref>[http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/columnists/pandora/pandora-boris-gets-the-backing-of-kens-billionaire-property-foes-764340.html Boris gets the backing of Ken's billionaire property foes], Pandora column, The Independent, 11 December 2007.</ref>

In July 2008, it emerged that the brothers had donated £186,000 to the Conservatives through six different companies:
::The donations are: £36,000 from [[Motcomb Estates]] last October; £50,000 from [[Investors in Private Capital]] in January; £25,000 apiece from [[Kirkglade]] and [[Wellesley Capital Investment]] in January; and £25,000 from [[Wellington Pub Company]] and [[Criterion Asset Management]] in March.<ref>[http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/4cc2e73c-5dc2-11dd-8129-000077b07658.html?nclick_check=1 Reuben brothers give Tories nearly £200,000], by Jim Pickard, FT.com, 30 July 2008.</ref>

==Background and Trans-World==
Sources differ on the family's origins. ''[[The Guardian]]'' in 2004 said the brothers "were born in Bombay to Jewish parents of Iranian descent", moved to London as teenagers and were raised by their mother and grandmother.<ref name="Guardian2004">James Robinson, [https://www.theguardian.com/business/2004/jun/27/russia Pack up your roubles ...] ''[[The Guardian]]'', 27 June 2004, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> ''Property Week'' in 2004 called them "sons of Iraqi Jews who had moved to India".<ref name="PW2004">Helen Thomas, "Reuben Revealed", ''Property Week'', 23 April 2004, reproduced as [https://www.reubenbrothers.com/reuben-revealed/ Reuben Revealed] ''reubenbrothers.com'', accessed 31 October 2026.</ref> ''The Guardian'' in 2021 said they were "born in Mumbai to Iraqi Jewish parents with an extensive business empire in Baghdad and India" and moved to Britain with their mother in the 1950s.<ref name="Guardian2021">Louise Taylor, [https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/oct/08/newcastle-takeover-guide-to-the-new-key-figures-yasir-al-ruayyan-amanda-staveley-reuben-brothers Newcastle takeover: a guide to the new key figures at St James' Park] ''[[The Guardian]]'', 8 October 2021, accessed 31 October 2026.</ref>

The 2004 ''Guardian'' profile gives these early careers:<ref name="Guardian2004" />
* [[David Reuben]] joined [[Mount Star Metals]] in 1958 and [[Trans-Continental]] in 1974, then formed Trans-World in 1977.
* [[Simon Reuben]] began importing carpets in 1962 and bought [[J Holdsworth]] in 1965. He formed the property company [[Devereux]], sold it to [[Bovis]] in 1972, and went on to manage [[Trans-World Metals|Trans-World]]'s investments.

The same article says the brothers opened a Russian office in 1991 with [[Lev Tchernoi|Lev Chernoy]]. It reports that, according to the company, by 1995 Trans-World had a turnover of close to £4bn and accounted for 5 per cent of the world's aluminium production. In 2000 the brothers sold the aluminium interests to [[Sibneft]] for £300m.<ref name="Guardian2004" /> A 1998 [[World Bank]] report claimed that Trans-World was founded with $2m borrowed from [[Marc Rich]]; the brothers confirmed business dealings with Rich but denied that he funded the company.<ref name="Guardian2004" />

''Fortune'' later published an "update and clarification" on the brothers. It reported that:<ref name="Fortune2004" />
* in December 2000 [[Kroll WorldWide Associates Inc.|Kroll Associates]], which the brothers had hired, issued a report on six of their metal-trading companies; it found "no evidence of money laundering, or any other illegal activity";
* in August 2001 the Düsseldorf prosecutor's office told the brothers it had ended its money-laundering inquiry;
* the libel claim that the brothers and Trans World brought in June 2001 against the writer [[Richard Behar]] and [[Time Inc.]] had been "resolved on amicable terms".

The same piece notes that the Kroll report did not cover the company's relationship with Lev and Michael Chernoy.

==Business since 2000==
''Property Week'' reported in 2004 that [[Motcomb Estates]] was set up in 1991 to handle the Reubens' property interests. Its staff then included:<ref name="PW2004" />
* [[Malcolm Robin Turner|Robin Turner]], who had worked with the brothers since 1965;
* [[David Leon Baker|David Baker]];
* [[Michael David Gubbay|Michael Gubbay]];
* [[Anne Benjamin]].

The magazine quoted the remark that "there's only one decision-maker at Motcomb and that's Simon Reuben".<ref name="PW2004" />

In 2006 the ''[[Jewish Chronicle]]'' reported that Od Yosef Hai Primary School in Hendon, north London, was to be renamed the Nancy Reuben School, in memory of the brothers' mother.
