RBI and AO Raiffeisenbank (Russia) to file a claim against Rasperia in
Austria
Vienna, 23 July 2026. A Russian court has issued an anti-suit injunction
prohibiting STRABAG SE, STRABAG SE’s Austrian core shareholders,
Raiffeisen Bank International AG (RBI) and its Russian subsidiary AO
Raiffeisenbank from taking legal action in connection with certain
Rasperia-related proceedings against Rasperia Trading Limited (Rasperia)
in courts or arbitration tribunals outside of Russia. Under the terms of
this anti-suit injunction, however, RBI and AO Raiffeisenbank may initiate
legal proceedings against Rasperia in Austria for damages of up to EUR
2.85 billion without triggering a judicial penalty.
In light of this verdict, the threat against RBI when filing a claim
against Rasperia in Austria has been substantially reduced. Consequently,
RBI intends to initiate legal proceedings for c. EUR 3.15 billion against
Rasperia in Austria, in full compliance with EU sanction law, to mitigate
its damages by seeking enforcement against Rasperia’s assets in Austria,
including the lifting of the freeze on Rasperia’s Austrian assets. These
assets which are subject to an asset freeze under EU sanctions consist of
28.5 million STRABAG SE shares, including the attached dividends for the
financial years starting with 2021, and the cash distribution from STRABAG
SE’s March 2024 capital reduction. AO Raiffeisenbank will join the
Austrian proceedings as second claimant.
A positive outcome of the Austrian proceedings is considered by RBI’s
Management Board to be highly likely, and the proceeds of the enforcement
against the above-mentioned assets are expected to be received in 6 to 12
months. The legal proceedings and ensuing measures may result in costs and
expenses of up to approx. EUR 150 million in 2026 for the RBI Group
excluding Russia.
