Polish sanctions law enabled freezing of EUR 2.7 bln in assets

Poland has managed to freeze PLN 13 billion (EUR 2.73 billion) in assets related to the Russian and Belarusian regimes, a deputy interior minister told the Senate on Wednesday.

Paweł Szefernaker told the upper house that the legislation had enabled the financial and economic assets of people on a special Interior Ministry list to be frozen.

The Interior Ministry list was published in late-April and includes 49 entries: 15 people and 34 companies. In June, one person and one company were removed from the list after they were covered by the same sanctions by the EU. Under the law, Polish restrictions cannot duplicate EU measures.
