"Won Battle": France was first confiscated

According to French journalists, real estate in Saint-Jan-Kap-Ferra worth 23 million euros formally belonged to a Swiss company. The fact that the villa was associated with the Russian oligarch became known when trying to sell it. The French court for the first time issued a resolution on the confiscation of the villa, owned by the oligarch from the Russian Federation. It is about the entrepreneur and the owner of the Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Plant Viktor Rashnikov. About it writes Le Monde.

It is reported that the elite real estate in Saint-Jan-Kap-Ferra worth 23 million euros was arrested in October 2022 as part of sanctions imposed on Russian businessmen in connection with the beginning of a full-scale war in Ukraine. "This is the first battle won in the long and delicate economic and judicial war, which Westerners lead against supporters of the Russian regime," the publication reads.

The fact that the villa in Saint-Jan-Kap-Ferra may belong to Rashkov, it became known when trying to sell it. The French unit of financial intelligence found that a house owned by a Swiss company is actually owned by the Russian oligarch. Earlier, France also blocked three real estate objects on the Blue Bank and in Paris, related to Viktor Rashnikov, who came under sanctions on March 15, 2022.

Journalists say that at this time in France are investigating at least 17 cases against entrepreneurs from the Russian Federation suspected of money laundering. We will remind that on February 25 in the media there was information that Russian oligarch and friend of Vladimir Putin Arkady Rothenberg financed the construction of a pool at a school where children of the British royal family study.
