The European Union's sanctions against Russia and Belarus, specifically targeting oligarchs and their families, have passed a significant legal test at the European Court of Justice (ECJ).
The European Court of Justice upheld several EU sanctions against Russian and Belarusian individuals, including prominent businessmen and their families.
The Belarus sanctions, which are a response to several incidents in recent years, cover nearly 300 people and companies linked to Alyaksandr Lukashenka's regime, which has supported the Russian attack on Ukraine, and continues to crack down on Belarusian opposition and civil society since a flawed presidential election in 2020.
Many of those individuals were slapped with sanctions in the spring of 2022 and have since had hearings before the Luxembourg-based ECJ. This fall, a number of verdicts will be issued. Pumpyanskaya was sanctioned by virtue of being the chairwoman of the board of trustees at Sinara, a foundation involved in the charitable activities of large companies including PJSC Pipe Metallurgical Company. EU lawyers also reasoned that her marriage to Pumpyansky made her"a natural person associated with a leading businessperson involved in economic sectors providing a substantial source of revenue to the government of the Russian Federation.
