On September 17, 2026, Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI) faced intense scrutiny as allegations surfaced that it played a role in facilitating over $1 billion of Russian trade to circumvent sanctions. Short-seller Grizzly Research made these claims, which the bank vehemently denied, citing factual inaccuracies and calling the report misleading. The allegations caused a significant drop in RBI's shares. Earlier the same day, RBI had categorically denied the short-seller report's allegations and stated it was reviewing legal options, including taking action against the authors. The bank described the claims as misleading and factually incorrect. The initial report alleged that RBI, as the largest Western bank still operating in Russia, was a key channel enabling more than $1 billion of Russian trade to circumvent sanctions.
