Further to our earlier post, regarding the UK’s National Crime Agency charging Dmitry Ovsyannikov with multiple counts of breaching the UK’s Russian sanctions, following a hearing in London it is now apparent that the National Crime Agency has also charged Ekaterina Ovsiannikova (the first defendant’s wife) and Alexei Owsjanikow, (the second defendant’s brother).
As per Spotlight on Corruption, a further hearing is listed for 28 June to hear application by the defendants to dismiss the charges.
The hearing, as reported by Global Investigations Review (behind a paywall), on Monday was largely procedural and dealt with issues like bail terms. The defendants have yet to enter a plea.
