As first reported in Global Investigations Review (here, behind a paywall), the UK’s Crown Prosecution Service has charged Hauser & Wirth (a Swiss company) that operates an art gallery in London, and logistics company Artay Rachweger Solomons each with a count of making a luxury good (i.e. a painting) available to a person connected with Russia in breach of the UK’s sanctions.
The person connected with Russia has not yet been named.
At a court hearing on 12 November, Artay Rauchwerger Solomons indicated that it intended to plead not guilty. Hauser & Wirth gave no indication.
