“I have a very warm attitude towards VEB and I am glad that now we will be partners,” Riner quotes Giner.

VEB.RF is a state-owned investment bank that finances economic development projects.

Recall that the chairman of VEB.RF, Igor Shuvalov, said that the corporation will convert the debt of the Moscow football club CSKA into shares and will receive more than 75% of the club’s shares.

After 19 rounds of the Russian Premier League, CSKA takes fourth place in the championship, gaining 34 points.

Earlier it was reported that Giner will remain president of CSKA, despite the transfer of a 75% stake in the club to VEB.
