AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation adds one entity and 15 Russian individuals to the EU sanctions list over their alleged role in the persecution, poisoning and death of Alexei Navalny. The measure follows claims by several European governments that Navalny was poisoned with epibatidine, despite Russia’s claim that he died of natural causes. EU businesses, banks and compliance teams must screen against the updated list and avoid making funds or economic resources available to the newly listed parties. The rules apply directly across all EU Member States from publication.
