Germany – Munich prosecutor investigates alleged sanctions breaches

It has been reported that the Munich state prosecutor has conducted comprehensive raids at the residence of a Russian citizen and four other suspects.

The Russian national is suspected of having recruited a security firm to observe properties in Upper Bavaria financially linked to him, and that the payments made to the firm were in breach of the asset freeze imposed on this designated person.

Also being investigated are the security firm and its staff.

The designated person has been named as Alisher Usmanov but this is a different investigation to the one we have separately reported.
