Ireland has frozen the assets of individuals and legal entities of the Russian Federation under sanctions in the amount of 1.72 billion euros. This is reported by The Irish Times, citing a representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country.
The Foreign Ministry spokesman clarified that the information is based on data provided by the Central Bank of Ireland.
The lion's share of the frozen assets are bank accounts, and not yachts, planes and luxury property, as previously reported in the media.
As journalists emphasize, in early April, European Commission documents reported on the freezing of Russian assets in Ireland in the amount of only 839 million euros , that is, during this time it has increased significantly.
The country's central bank also sent appeals to a number of official organizations to remind them of the need for constant supervision of financial sanctions and “of the responsibility of every Irishman to comply with EU prohibitions”, as the war in Ukraine continues. The publication emphasizes that violation of sanctions prohibitions is a criminal offense in the country.
Later it became known that the EU began work on the seventh package of sanctions against the Russian Federation.
