Russian businessman Alexander Vinokurov said the sanctions against him were imposed “illegal.”
The European Union court left the proper punishment against businessman Alexander Vinokurov, married to his daughter of Foreign Affairs minister of Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov. This was reported by the court service of the court on Wednesday, January 29.
Vinokurov asked the judges to identify the lawsuit by raising penalties as rational, and the decision of the EU Council to introduce sanctions against him for actions, overthrow or threaten the integrity of the territory and freedom of Ukraine, unacceptable.
Lavrov’s son -in -law also claimed that the sanctions against him were imposed illegally, that the EU council had mistaken his assessment, and in addition, the principle of proportionality was violated. However, the appeal was rejected.
Vinokurov – President of the Marathon Group and Chief Shareholder of the largest Food Retail Chain of Stores Magnet In the Russian Federation.
In official EU documents, he appears as “a businessman who engages in activities in the economic sectors, ensuring a significant source of income for the Russian Federation government.” Vinokurov was one of the participants in the meeting, head of Kremlin Vladimir Putin along with Russian business representatives on February 24, 2022, after the start of a full -scale invasion of Ukraine.
Recall that earlier the EU court in Luxembourg declined Russian oligarch’s lawsuit Oleg Deripasska to remove the penalties. In Ukraine, Deripasska’s properties were arrested, estimated at 2.11 billion hryvnias.
