💨 Abstract

A Russian politician, Dmitrii Ovsiannikov, who serves as the governor of Sevastopol in Crimea, went on trial in London for breaching British sanctions. He is accused of circumventing sanctions between February 2023 and January 2024 by opening a bank account and using it to buy a car and pay school fees, in the first such prosecution of its kind in Britain. His wife and brother face similar charges.
