(AFP) A Luxembourg-based EU court on Wednesday upheld some of the sanctions imposed on
Arkady Rotenberg, tycoon and judo sparring partner of Russian President
Vladimir Putin, for his role in the Ukraine crisis.
As the crisis deepened in early 2014 with Russia's annexation of
Crimea, the EU imposed asset freezes and travel bans on Russian and
Ukrainian figures it blamed for breaking up the country, among them
Rotenberg.
