The EU court lifted sanctions from the son of the Russian billionaire of Pumpyansky

He complained about the deterioration of living conditions in Switzerland after the introduction of restrictions and asked for compensation for 100 thousand euros

The European Union court decided to lift sanctions from the son of Russian billionaire Dmitry Pumpyansky, Alexander, the authority said.

At the same time, the court refused to Alexander Pumpyansky in a request for non -pecuniary damage per 100 thousand euros. The EU court decided that the Pumpyan Jr. could not be considered an individual that supports the Government of the Russian Federation, since he is associated with his father only with related bonds. In 2016, Alexander became a Switzerland citizen and, after imposing sanctions, complained that he could not pay a mortgage in the country, use the telephone and the rental car.

Pumpyan Jr. fell under personal sanctions for the invasion of the Russian Federation in Ukraine in March 2022 and after that left the board of directors of the Pipe Metallurgical Company, which was headed by his father. Then the father and son of Pumpyansky left the board of directors of the Sinara diversification group, the Bank of the same name and the Sinara -Transport Machine Engineering Company.

The ex-head of the Pipe Metallurgical Company Dmitry Pumpyansky and his wife Galina remained on the sanctions lists, as they are associated with the financing of the authorities of the Russian Federation.
