Three more names added to national sanctions list

The cabinet has added three more names to the national sanctions list created on the basis of the Czech Magnitsky Act approved by Parliament last year. They are Russian businessman Boris Obnosov who produces weapons systems for Putin's regime and his daughter and son-in-law Olga and Rostislav Zorikov, who are profiting from the business. The family owns luxury real estate and cars in this country.

The Czech Foreign Ministry will also propose placing these three individuals on the EU sanctions list.

The Czech Magnitsky Act allows the government to impose sanctions on foreign entities violating human rights, supporting terrorism, or committing cybercrimes. The sanctions include asset-freezing and a ban on entering the country.
