Tenenbaum told the Financial Post that he had bought Ervington from a trust called Norma Investments.<\/p>\n
Abramovich\u2019s family was previously the beneficial owner of Norma, Tenenbaum said, but at the time he sought to buy Ervington from Norma, it was controlled by Davidovich.<\/p>\n
The Wall Street Journal in March reported that control of Norma, long linked to Abramovich, had been transferred to Davidovich around the time of the Ukraine invasion.<\/p>\n
Tenenbaum was born in Kyiv when Ukraine was still part of the Soviet Union. In\u00a0the 1970s, his family\u00a0immigrated\u00a0to Canada, where he grew up, went to university and launched his career as an accountant and auditor.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

The website for Companies House, the U.K. government\u2019s registrar of companies, lists Tenenbaum as a Canadian national and a resident of Jersey in the Channel Islands. Reuters reported last month that he described himself as \u201ca British citizen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tenenbaum was not immediately available to comment on being added to the U.K.\u2019s sanctions list.<\/p>\n
He told Reuters in a statement last month that he disagreed with the characterization of Abramovich as a close ally of Putin for decades.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is my hope that the unjust measures imposed on Mr. Abramovich will be reassessed,\u201d he told the news service.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
