Russian and Belarusian businessmen, including Alisher Usmanov, Gennady Timchenko, Roman Abramovich, Mikhail Fridman, Sergei Mndoyants and others, have appealed to the Court of Justice of the European Union in Luxembourg to demand the lifting of the blockade sanctions, Bild writes.
61 businessmen from Russia and Belarus, as well as a Russian company, want to challenge the restrictions imposed in connection with the outbreak of hostilities in Ukraine. The plaintiffs consider that the sanctions are not reasonable.
According to the businessmen, their European assets were illegally blocked, the complaints are mainly related to the violation of their rights, notes Bild.
Specifically, the owner of the investment group Volga Group, Gennady Timchenko, insists that the European Union compensate him for the moral damage of the sanctions, the businessman demands 1 million euros.
This week, the European Union agreed to the next, already the ninth package of sanctions after the introduction of Russian troops into Ukraine. The restrictions will affect almost 200 people. The head of the Ministry of Digital Development, Maksut Shadayev, as well as the director and host of the Besogon TV author’s program, Nikita Mikhalkov, fell under personal sanctions.
At the same time, some EU countries called for the easing of sanctions against five Russian businessmen “in the name of protecting global food security.”
