PoliticsBloomberg: EU sanctions relief ‘surprises’ Russian billionaire Mikhail Fridman

Russian billionaire Mikhail Fridman was reportedly surprised by the EU’s decision to remove him from its sanctions list, having nearly given up hope after several court victories. Bloomberg said he benefited almost incidentally from Alisher Usmanov’s campaign for removal. On September 22, the EU dropped both men while agreeing to extend Russia sanctions for three years.
