JTI's assets will be managed by Sergey Dermov's Industrial Assets, the company confirmed to Kommersant. The company will develop a business worth 250-300 billion rubles. The decision to place JTI into interim management was made on November 5, but its ultimate beneficiary was not entirely clear beforehand.
