More than 103 million euros in Russian and Belarusian assets have been frozen in Lithuania, according to the latest data from the country’s Financial Crimes Investigation Service (FNTT).
Sixteen legal entities and individuals are subject to sanctions in Lithuania, which includes nine Russian firms.
The total amount of frozen funds in the accounts of the Russian companies exceeds 69.51 million US dollars and 810,000 euros. Meanwhile, frozen accounts of Belarusian companies and individual accounts total 23.71 million euros and 7.68 million US dollars.
The FNTT notes that one of the main sanction evasion trends includes attempts to export sanctioned goods to Russia, adding that reports of possible violations in most cases have to do with Lithuania-registered companies with a long history of trading with Russia or Belarus.
