💨 Abstract

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that the family of an American killed when a Malaysian Airlines plane was shot down over Ukraine in 2014 can sue Russia's largest bank, Sberbank, for allegedly providing money transfers to a group blamed for downing the plane. The court said Sberbank was not entitled to sovereign immunity, as its alleged handling of money transfers constituted "commercial activity."
