It is being reported (and here) that the Czech authorities have obtained a conviction of Vladimir Lihutin, a Czech national, for an attempt to export three luxury cars to Russia.
The sentence includes:
-
- a fine of 300,000 crowns (c. €11,500)
- confiscation of €132,000 (being the sums paid by the customers for the cars)
- a ban on buying and selling any cars for 20 months.
This is the first known conviction or fine imposed in Czechia for breaches of EU sanctions.
