German prosecutors have seized three apartments in Munich and a bank account owned by a Russian lawmaker and his wife following European Union sanctions imposed over the occupation of Ukraine.
Prosecutors said the lawmaker, who works in the Duma, one of the chambers of the Russian parliament, and his wife jointly own two of the apartments in the Bavarian city.
The man and woman, identified only as L and K respectively in accordance with German privacy rules continued to make money from property rents contrary to sanctions.
They said the woman, who is registered as a resident of Munich, is also the sole owner of a third apartment in Munich, where she continued to rent.
This means that both are suspected of violating Germany’s foreign trade law.
The seizure was ordered last week and went into effect Monday, prosecutors said. Residents of the flats are allowed to stay, but are no longer allowed to pay rent for the lawmaker and his wife.
Payments must be deposited in the district court of Munich. The bank account that was seized receives monthly rent payments of around € 3,500, according to prosecutors.
