According to a report by Público, Roman Abramovich was not the only Russian oligarch to obtain Portuguese naturalisation under Sephardic law. The newspaper reports that Andrei Rappoport also has obtained Portuguese passport. With a fortune estimated at €1.2 billion by Forbes, the billionaire born in the former Soviet republic of Ukraine in 1963, presided over Alfa-Bank between 1992 and 1996.

In the early 2000s, he transferred to Yukos and began overseeing Russia's state-owned energy companies, becoming chairman of the board of the giant Federal Grid Company. Six years later, he took control of Energostroyinvest-Holding, which was at the time the largest builder of electricity grids and thermoelectric plants in Russia and which had important contracts with the FGC.

Público claims that Andrei Rappoport obtained a Portuguese passport on December 30, 2019, one and a half years before Abramovich got Portuguese nationality, also by order of the then Secretary of State for Justice, Anabela Pedroso. All were certified as Sephardic Jews by the Comunidade Israelita do Porto (CIP).

In turn, the Russian oligarch and former vice president of the World Jewish Congress, God Nisanov, and the "king of diamonds" Lev Leviev are waiting for Portuguese naturalisation.

Recently, Blinken described Nisanov as “one of the richest men in Europe” and “a close collaborator of several Russian authorities”, having been honoured in the Kremlin in July 2014 by Putin with the Order of Friendship. On June 26, 2020, he applied for Portuguese naturalisation at the Conservatória dos Registos Centrais, having presented a certificate issued by the CIP proving his Sephardic origins.
