The frozen assets are linked to the 877 people and 62 entities included on the list of individual sanctions (freeze of assets and ban on entering EU territory) drawn up by the European Union.
The blocked transactions are the consequence of restrictions imposed by the European Union, such as the ban imposed on several Russian banks from accessing European capital markets.
Belgian customs have also checked, since the adoption of the sanctions, 23,191 containers in Belgian ports. In three of them, luxury goods, banned from export to Russia, were found. In Antwerp, 1,400 containers are still waiting to be checked and in Zeebrugge, 1,100 still have to be checked. In this port, which is an important European automotive logistics platform, a dozen luxury cars are also immobilized.
