The CEO of the company that manages the assets of Roman Abramovich was unable to use the funds due to UK sanctions.
The Israeli bank Hapoalim blocked the accounts and canceled the bank card of David Davidovich, the CEO of Millhouse, which manages the assets of the Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich , close to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
This is reported by YNet with reference to Davydovich’s statement.
According to a business partner of the Russian oligarch, he tried to withdraw money from an Israeli account while in Latvia. However, the ATM “swallowed” his bank card, which turned out to be cancelled.
The bank branch told Davidovich that his account was blocked due to sanctions imposed on him by the UK government.
Israeli citizen David Davidovich is trying to challenge this decision through the Tel Aviv District Court.
Hapoalim Bank said that they are working in accordance with the regime of international sanctions and cannot comment on this case due to bank secrecy reasons.
The EU and Britain imposed sanctions against Roman Abramovich against the backdrop of restricting the financial freedom of Russian oligarchs close to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Recall that earlier Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called the Jews “the most bitter anti-Semites”, which greatly outraged the Israeli Foreign Ministry.
