German Authorities Conduct Raid on Bavarian Villa of Sanctioned Russian

German authorities, including police, tax investigators, and customs agents, raided a villa in Bavaria belonging to an unnamed Russian individual who is subject to EU sanctions and asset seizures following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The target of the raid is believed to be Alisher Usmanov, a Russian-Uzbek businessman. The villa, located in the resort town of Rottach-Egern, was not the only property targeted, as raids were also conducted at other properties owned by the sanctioned individual in Tegernsee and Munich. The seized assets included luxury German-made vehicles.

"US and UK Expand Sanctions on Russian Networks and Oligarchs"

The US has imposed sanctions on over 120 individuals and entities across 20 countries and jurisdictions, including a private military company, a China-based firm, and entities linked to state-owned nuclear energy company Rosatom, among others, to squeeze Russia over its war in Ukraine. The actions reflect an effort to broaden the web of US sanctions placed on Moscow since Russian President Vladimir Putin's February 2022 invasion of Ukraine and to squelch efforts to circumvent them. One of the main targets was Russian billionaire businessman Alisher Usmanov, who the Treasury described as having "at his disposal a wide network of businesses in financial safe havens and family members through which to conduct financial transactions, enabling him to potentially circumvent sanctions."

US Targets Russian Oligarch Usmanov and Finance Networks with Fresh Sanctions

The US Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on 29 companies and 25 individuals linked to the Russian government over the invasion of Ukraine, including Russian-Uzbek billionaire Alisher Usmanov's network of businesses. Usmanov, who is believed to be close to Russian President Vladimir Putin, has been subject to sanctions for over a year, but the US Treasury said he still had a wide network of businesses and family members through which to conduct financial transactions, enabling him to potentially circumvent sanctions.

Russia's Actions Prompt Further Sanctions and Criticism from US

The US Department of State and Treasury have imposed sanctions on over 120 entities and individuals across 20 countries and jurisdictions in connection with Russia's invasion of Ukraine, including those facilitating sanctions evasion. The sanctions target entities supporting Russia's war against Ukraine, including a new Russian private military company and a Chinese firm providing satellite imagery to entities affiliated with the Wagner private military company. The US will continue to take action against Russia and those supporting its war in Ukraine, including implementing the G7's commitment to impose severe consequences on third country actors who support Russia's war in Ukraine.
