#62024TJ0601EU General Court Upholds Anastasia Ignatova’s Ukraine Sanctions Listing
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The judgment keeps Anastasia Ignatova on the EU sanctions list linked to Russia’s actions against Ukraine. That means her funds and economic resources remain frozen, and EU operators must continue to avoid making funds or assets available to her. The case turns on whether the Council had enough grounds to treat her as an immediate family member of, or someone benefiting from, leading business figures operating in Russia. For banks, companies, and compliance teams, the practical point is that EU sanctions screening should continue to treat her as a listed person unless later measures or court rulings change that status.
