Anonymous claims they leaked documents of the Russian Central Bank which can be found [here](https://mobile.twitter.com/Thblckrbbtworld/status/1507426103136342020).If you go through some of the excel files most notably one called 01e-portfolio.xls it shows as of 30.09.2021 the country with the largest holding of Russian investments is Ireland with total portfolio valued at $24B.
Edit: Please note that according to that xls file this is ONLY the portfolio which consists of equity and debt securities. Commodities and other financial instruments aren’t mentioned in this file.
2nd edit: If anyone is looking for this file its in the second link on Anonymous Twitter’s page I linked earlier.

Great little country to do business in
So…
There’s a huge amount of asset management that goes on in this country. Unless they were setting out to avoid Ireland, this is to be expected.
Crazy bit of business
For context, Ireland has $3,300 billion of assets domiciled here. Its kinda our thing.
Russian elitism is so ironic with how superior they like to consider themselves to be compared to the west, when they rely massively on the west for generating and maintaining their wealth because the west is far more stable than their shit tier economy resulting from their rampant corruption. Russian oligarchs must be absolutely sick at the moment about how they’re basically outcasts compared with the global elite they like to feel a part of
Time for ireland to pull out its financial nuclear sanction
Let’s confiscate it..
Is it possible to freeze it?
This is a bit scary IMHO because everything that russians touch become corrupted to the core and spreads out like cancer…
Is the next step for us to do what /u/Adderkleet suggested?
> I would still call for CAB to investigate that 1%, and any relevant sanctions to be applied to it. But it’s probably <1% of all Russia’s foreign assets.
