EU adds shadow fleet figures, judges, bishop to Russia sanctions list

The European Union targeted Russian shadow fleet figures accused of aiding Moscow's Ukraine war effort as well as individuals linked to opposition figure

Alexei Navalny's murder as it expanded its sanctions list on Monday.



In total, 34 individuals and 47 entities linked to Russia's military and industrial complex, its shadow fleet of oil and gas tankers and others involved in political interference activities were added to the list, the European Council said.



Among them were Tahir Garayev - founder of Coral Energy, which later became 2Rivers Group - and Konstantin Rogach.



Garayev had enabled the shipment and export of Russian crude, in particular from sanctioned energy giant Rosneft, through a network of companies by concealing the oil's true origin, the EU said.
