LUXEMBOURG (ITALPRESS/MNA) – The General Court of the European Union has dismissed the action brought by Russian businessman Roman Arkadyevich Abramovich against the sanctions imposed on him by the EU Council as part of the measures adopted following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The sanctions included, among other things, the freezing of funds and a ban on entering or transiting through the European Union. Abramovich had challenged the inclusion and retention of his name on the lists of individuals and entities subject to these measures before the EU General Court. The Court dismissed the businessman’s action and upheld the Council’s acts. Abramovich, the former owner of Chelsea, holds Russian, Israeli, and Portuguese citizenship. He is the principal shareholder of Evraz, one of the leading groups operating in Russia’s steel and mining sectors.
