Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich is suing the European Union and the United States over the imposition of sanctions on him following the start of the major war in Ukraine. He claims that the restrictions were imposed simply because he is a well-known russian.
Abramovich filed a lawsuit challenging the EU sanctions on May 25, 2022, and a court hearing took place on Wednesday, May 12, 2023.
He has also hired a law firm to fight against the order for the confiscation of his two aircraft in the US.
The attorneys have registered with the US Department of Justice to represent Abramovich regarding "government relations strategy" and "judicial and administrative proceedings."
