Tribunale #Ue annulla #sanzioni per #Aven e #Fridman
Il Tribunale dell'Ue ha annullato le sanzioni a Petr Aven, con cittadinanza russa e lettone, e Mikhail Fridman, con cittadinanza russa e israeliana, due importanti soci dell'Alfa Group, un conglomerato comprendente la Alfa Bank, una delle principali banche russe.
I due imprenditori erano stati inseriti nella blacklist Ue dal Consiglio ed erano accusati assieme allo stesso Vladimir Putin.

The Security Service of Ukraine pressed criminal charges against Russian oligarch Mikhail Fridman for financing Russian aggression toward Ukraine.
SBU said he used Alfa Bank assets to finance 2 billion rubles (approx $20Mil USD) at military factories - including Tula Ammunition Plant (produces cartridges) and Yalamov Ural Optical-Mechanical Plant (manufactures high-tech equipment for Russian warplanes and helicopters)
'Despite tough talk, Britain’s new sanctions program against #Russia ’s invasion of #Ukraine has proved shaky. Some #oligarchs have received generous exemptions. Officials have at times overreached.'
"Mr. #Fridman also received a roughly £7,000 monthly allowance to cover his family’s basic needs."
'Officials permitted Petr #Aven a monthly allowance of £60,000'
@CrackedWindscreen#Fridman, along with #Musk and a few others in that orbit, have done extraordinary harm to public science education and discourse.
And Twitter and YouTube were their instruments to do so.
I almost wish that these platforms never existed at times.
Musk and Fridman like to make all these nods to "civilization collapse", but what kind of modern civilization can survive where the public's notion and belief in actual, competent science is irreparably damaged?
