The US Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced on Friday that it had expanded its list of sanctions against Russia, including a business association and four more citizens.
The individuals targeted are Petr Olegovich Aven, Mikhail Maratovich Fridman, German Borisovich Khan, and Alexey Viktorovich Kuzmichev. All of them were part of the supervisory board of the Alfa Group Consortium (Alfa Group).
"Wealthy Russian elites should disabuse themselves of the notion that they can operate business as usual while the Kremlin wages war against the Ukrainian people," said Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo.
