A Russian court on Monday sentenced German investor Ralph Novak to five years in prison on charges of fraud in a scheme involving the sale of shares in Russian car-sharing company BelkaCar, his lawyer told Reuters. Russia's RBC newspaper said Novak was a dual Russian-German national and general director of Singular CIS, an investment consulting firm based in Zug, Switzerland. RBC reported that Novak was arrested for fraud in early 2022 alongside Ilmar Azmukhanov, director of investment at the Winterberg Group AG, a firm also based in Zug.
