Supreme Court of Canada declines to hear appeal of man sanctioned over ties to Moscow
The ruling leaves Igor Viktorovich Makarov’s sanctions in place after lower courts upheld Ottawa’s decision, which targets hundreds of people and groups over Ukraine.
The Supreme Court of Canada declined to hear Igor Viktorovich Makarov’s appeal against Canadian sanctions over his ties to Moscow.
Makarov made billions of dollars through business activities in Russia and was sanctioned by Canada over his relationships with senior Russian officials.
Canada said Makarov brokered energy deals while benefiting from close relationships with senior Russian officials.
The Federal Court and Federal Court of Appeal rejected Makarov’s challenges before he sought review by the Supreme Court.
