The Ministry of Justice has accused Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeev of conspiring to violate and violate US sanctions imposed in 2014 following the illegal annexation of Crimea by Moscow.
The Ministry of Finance’s Foreign Assets Control Service sanctioned 47-year-old Malofeev eight years ago for “playing a leading role in supporting the Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine in 2014.” He remains at large, but is believed to be in Russia, according to US officials.
The FBI said Malofeev “recently described Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine in 2022 as a holy war.”
The Russian embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the allegations.

The United States has announced a series of new sanctions against Russia as it tries to put pressure on Moscow’s economy and elite in response to growing Russian atrocities in Ukraine.
The Biden administration will ban all new investments in Russia and impose full blocking sanctions on Sberbank and Alfa Bank, two of the country’s largest financial institutions.
The United States will also sanction two older daughters of Russian President Vladimir Putin and family members of other senior Russian officials.
The Biden administration believes that “many of Putin’s assets are hidden from family members and that is why we are targeting them,” said a senior administration official, who wished to remain anonymous.
