EU sanctions Alisher Usmanov’s sister

Saodat Narzieva held 27 secret Swiss bank accounts linked to the Russian oligarch

The sister of the oligarch and former Arsenal football club shareholder Alisher Usmanov has been sanctioned by the EU after an investigation by the Guardian named her in connection with 27 Swiss bank accounts containing billions of pounds.

Usmanov's sister, Saodat Narzieva, was among a number of relatives of Russian officials and oligarchs added to the EU's sanctions list on Friday in response to the war in Ukraine. Usmanov has been under EU sanctions since February.
