Undated: German Borisovich Khan (born 24 October 1961) is a Ukrainian-Russian billionaire businessman.[3][4] After graduating from university in 1988 he worked in a wholesale business selling consumer items,[5][5] before setting up his own cooperative.[1] He was then appointed the head of the wholesale trade business Alfa Eco as part of the Alfa Group Consortium, by Mikhail Fridman.[5][5][6] He became president of Alfa Eco in 1996[7] and was instrumental in directing the company to focus on export and the oil trade.[1] When Alfa bought Tyumen Oil (TNK) in 1997, he joined the board of directors.[1] He was deputy chairman of TNK Oil Company[8] from 1997 until 2003.[5] In 2003, Khan worked with the other TNK owners to form a 50–50 joint venture with British Petroleum (BP),[9] in what was the largest foreign investment in Russia to date,[10] at US$8 billion.[11]
In May 2017 Khan, along with fellow Alfa Bank owners Mikhail Fridman and Petr Aven, filed a defamation lawsuit against BuzzFeed for publishing the unverified Donald Trump–Russia dossier,[56][57][58] which alleges financial ties and collusion between Putin, Trump, and the three bank owners.[59][60] In October 2017 Khan, Fridman, and Aven also filed a libel suit against the private-investigation firm Fusion GPS and its founder Glenn Simpson, who had commissioned former MI6 agent Christopher Steele to compile the dossier, for circulating the dossier among journalists and allowing it to be published.[61] In April 2018 Khan, Fridman, and Aven filed a libel suit against Steele in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia,[62][63] but the suit was dismissed with prejudice the following August.[64]
