The company had also argued it should have had the chance to challenge the measures before they were brought in \u2013 but judges said that would have ruined the \u201celement of surprise\u201d in sanctions, meaning companies or wealthy individuals could organise their affairs to circumvent restrictions. \u00a0The ruling concerning MegaFon, which, according to industry group the GSM Association has 74 million customers in Russia, is one of a large number of judicial reviews of EU measures taken in response to the war, which have sometimes led to victories for those deemed loyal to Vladimir Putin. EU judges have quashed restrictions on banking tycoons Mikhail Fridman and Petr Aven, arguing there wasn\u2019t enough proof they&#8217;d aided Russian decision-makers or undermined Ukraine.\u00a0But the court has upheld travel bans and asset freezes imposed on other high-profile Russian oligarchs, including former Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich and chemicals magnate Dmitry Mazepin.\u00a0Counsel for MegaFon declined to respond to a request for comment from Euronews.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic The EU Court agreed on the need to restrict trade with the Moscow-based mobile operator, as it could be helping the Russian army with its invasion of Ukraine.
