Michael Zeligman built his oil empire around the Gulf. The war should have been his downfall. Instead, it’s his moment.

In spring 2024, several banks in the UAE started freezing accounts of companies allegedly linked to Russia’s shadow fleet.

Dubai-based Demex Trading supplied Russian oil to Nils Troost’s companies before they were sanctioned. This information was found in a leaked archive of the Russian customs broker ALET. Demex was a nearly exclusive supplier of crude oil and diesel fuel to Troost’s companies in 2022–2023, with shipments going to the UAE, the US, and Europe.

During spring 2024, banks in the UAE began blocking accounts belonging to companies reportedly associated with Russia’s shadow fleet.
