Italy has frozen $2.5 billion worth of Russian assets since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
This was reported by Reuters on July 4 with reference to data from the Central Bank of Italy.
"Italy has frozen the assets of Russian oligarchs worth about 2 billion euros ($2.5 billion) after the invasion of Ukraine last year, the country's central bank said on Tuesday," journalists reported.
The Central Bank's Anti-Money Laundering Unit (UIF) clarified that these data reflect the situation as of the end of June. It was also possible to freeze assets worth about 330 million euros related to 80 individuals.
Among the assets of the Russian Federation, which were frozen in Italy, are bank accounts, luxurious villas, yachts and cars.
It will be recalled that earlier it was reported that Germany may seize Russian assets and hand them over to restore Ukraine.
