Exactly 140 million are worth of assets that Italy is seizing from the Russian oligarchs to follow up the international retaliation against the war in Ukraine, thus following in the footsteps of other European countries.

"Freezing measures are being adopted on the Italian territory of movable and immovable property belonging to Russian subjects on the lists of European regulations - explains the Ministry of Economy - for about 140 million euros. A first transaction has already been completed and it concerns a boat worth 65 million euros. Other measures are in the process of being adopted ". Inevitably, the thought goes to Igor Sechin, at the helm of the state oil giant Rosneft which has been spotted several times in our country with an 88-meter yacht worth more or less estimated at 66 million. But the detail is not yet officially known. The first kidnappings of the Russian oligarchs are therefore also starting in Italy, who, notoriously, have many 'mobile and immovable' interests in our country. In all, 680 people are affected by the European sanctions and 26 are the 'super rich' Russians.

Meanwhile, a crisis table opened today in Arzachena to tackle the job emergency that risks overwhelming dozens of local businesses that continue to receive cancellations and contract suspensions from Russian millionaires who own property in Costa Smeralda and who have been banned by the sanctions adopted by the EU against the oligarchs who support Putin.

The summit, after an initial alarm launched by the Cisl Gallura, was convened by the mayor of Arzachena, Roberto Ragnedda, who involved all the trade unions and trade associations.
