European Commission Proposes to Make Seizing Russian Assets Easier

The European Commission wants to simplify the confiscation of assets related to criminal activity, including those who evade EU sanctions against the Kremlin. This is reported by Reuters, citing a draft document in the possession of the editorial.

The crimes for which the new rules would apply are terrorism, participation in a criminal organization, human trafficking, money laundering, and violating EU sanctions, which, according to a separate proposal, would become a worldwide crime.
