Indian IT giant Infosys is still active in Moscow, according to the Mirror, despite announcing that it is closing its office in the Russian capital. Mr. Sunak’s wife, Akshata Murty, has a 0.93% stake in the company, which was founded by her father, although she retired in 2014 and had no further involvement. In early April, a source at Infosys told the Guardian that the company was “in the process of closing down its Russian business urgently” and was “moving staff to other countries”.

A spokeswoman for Murty said: “This is a matter for Infosys and it should be addressed to them. “Ms. Murty is one of the many minority shareholders and has no involvement in the company’s business decisions.” Read more: Who is Rishi Sunak’s wife and how is her family so rich? Shadow Finance Minister Tulip Siddiq said: “It is really important for the chancellor to clarify what is happening here and whether his immediate family is benefiting from Infosys’ continued presence in Russia. “We can not have a situation where a British chancellor and his family have financial interests in the Putin regime.” Infosys said: “As you know, during the quarterly results, Infosys announced its decision to transfer services from Russia to global delivery centers. “While the company does not have active relationships with local Russian companies, we have a small team with less than 100 employees in Russia, which serves some of our customers worldwide. “We are currently working closely with these affected customers to enable a smooth transition.” Last month, Murty, an Indian national, announced she would pay taxes in the UK on all of her global income after it was revealed she did not live in Britain for tax purposes. A “non-dom” is a person who lives in a country but does not reside legally in it, in some cases gaining tax advantages in that country. The revelation, along with the revelation that Mr. Sunak retained his U.S. green card as chancellor, was widely seen as hurting her husband’s hopes of succeeding Boris Johnson as Tory leader.
