In Germany, a condenphone process began against two former leaders of Siemens’s giant engineering, accused of violating sanctions against the Russian Federation.
The German court Hamburg has decided at the beginning of the criminal process against two former Siemens leaders who have been accused of violating sanctions against the Russian Federation for providing gas turbines to temporarily conquer Crimea. Reuters reported this Friday, March 14th.
Earlier, the Hamburg prosecutor’s office was charged by four German citizens and a citizen of Switzerland and France. However, the activities of the three of them are closed due to lack of evidence. The prosecutor’s office has appealed to this decision.
Siemens said it could not comment on the trials, focusing that the case was not concerned with the company, and the accused would no longer work here.
The EU and the United States banned the provision of energy equipment to Crimea after the illegal integration of the Russian Peninsula in 2014. Despite this, in 2017, Siemens’s turbines were installed in Crimean power plants. The company then claimed they gave them to a Russian client for use within the Russian Federation and did not know about plans to be sent to Crimea.
