Who is Oleg Deripaska?

World Business Report

Available for over a year

US sanctions have been placed on Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska and his company Rusal. It's one of Washington's most aggressive moves to punish Russia for a range of activities, including alleged meddling in the 2016 US Election. But just who exactly is the man they're targeting? Mr Deripaska has been described as President Putin's favourite Industrialist. Eric Reguly is European bureau chief for Canada's Globe and Mail. He has met Mr Derispaska several times and told the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Susannah Streeter of his impressions of the businessman. (Picture: Mike Clarke/ AFP/ Getty Images)
