Germany court confirmed Alisher Usmanov's innocence

The Hamburg city court in Germany found the charges against Russian businessman Alisher Usmanov and his sister Saodat Narziyeva to be unfounded. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This was announced by Usmanov's lawyer Joachim Steinhäfel. According to the court's decision, a German citizen claimed on the Facebook social network that Alisher Usmanov was hiding his funds in a bank account in Switzerland and had officially registered them under his sister Saodat Narziyeva's name.

However, the court confirmed that these claims were not true. According to the lawyer, the court once again noted that the accusations against Usmanov and his relatives were not supported by facts.

Additionally, the European Union removed Saodat Narziyeva from the sanctions list and apologized for her incorrect inclusion. The businessman's representatives stated that similar unfounded information circulated in 2022 led to the imposition of sanctions against Saodat Narziyeva by the European Union and the United Kingdom.

In September of this year, false information was again spread on Facebook claiming that Saodat Narziyeva was the beneficiary of accounts at Credit Suisse bank. However, the court found these claims to be baseless and prohibited the dissemination of such information.

Violation of this prohibition may result in a fine of up to 250,000 euros or administrative detention.
