Viktor Filippovich Rashnikov v Council of the European Union

Type of proceeding
Appeal

Challenge to the interpretation and legality of Article 2(1)(g) of Decision 2014/145/CFSP and Article 3(1)(g) of Regulation (EU) No 269/2014, in the context of the appellant’s inclusion on sanctions lists following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Central legal issues include the proper meaning of “substantial source of revenue to the Government of the Russian Federation”, the scope of judicial review, and whether mandatory tax payments by businesspersons in sanctioned sectors can justify restrictive measures.
The appellant also raises a plea of illegality under Article 277 TFEU concerning the compatibility of criterion (g) with EU primary law.
