Episode Details

Oleg Deripaska, Russia’s aluminum titan and Kremlin-linked oligarch, may have stepped back from Rusal’s leadership—but his grip on power and influence remains fiercely contested. Built on post-Soviet privatization deals, his empire spans global smelters, including Ireland’s Aughinish plant and Germany’s historic facilities. Despite sanctions and claims of shifting to charity, investigative reports reveal he still directs key decisions, with insiders acting on his behalf. His wealth soars, his stake in En+ allegedly hidden, and his ties to Russia’s war machine—despite public denials—continue to fuel global scrutiny, as he battles journalists in Russian courts to silence the truth.
