Dimitry Kochenov

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dimitry Vladimirovich Kochenov is an expert on citizenship and nationality law who held a chair in European Constitutional law and Citizenship at the University of Groningen.[1] He considers citizenship to be an unjustifiable form of apartheid, comparing it to racism, sexism, and slavery, and advocates its complete abolition.[2]

Following a 2019 investigation by Dutch news program Nieuwsuur, University of Groningen conducted an investigation into Kochenov's paid consulting activities related to the "passport trade", including his role with Henley & Partners and advising Malta on a law change to allow citizenship by investment. In 2020, he was reprimanded by the university for breaching its conflict of interest rules, having failed to disclose his external side jobs.[3][4] As a result of the scandal, Kochenov left the university, as reported in April 2021.[3]
