Since the 1990s, Popovic has used his Russia-based businesses to enrich himself and gain close connections with Kremlin senior leaders. Popovic continues to use his Kremlin connections to secure business for his holdings, most of which operate in the consulting, real estate, and electronics sector of the Russian economy, to build his personal wealth through embezzlement and tax schemes. The Department of State is designating Nenad Popovic pursuant to E.O. 14024 for operating in or having operated in the electronics sector of the Russian Federation economy.
