Interpretation and validity of Article 2(1)(g) of Decision 2014/145/CFSP, concerning the listing of “leading businesspersons” involved in economic sectors providing a substantial source of revenue to the Russian government – particularly in light of proportionality, fundamental rights, and burden of proof.
The case also raises questions of whether personal conduct or a link to the Russian regime is required for listing, using the example of the appellant’s executive position at Yandex and his presence at a Kremlin meeting with President Putin.
