The decision was made by Southerk Crown Court. During the meeting, it became known that Ovsyannikov is also a British citizen.
Under the terms of his bail, his British and Russian passports remain with law enforcement officers, and Ovsyannikov himself must observe a curfew from 21:00 to 05:00, staying at home with an electronic bracelet. He is required to report to the police daily.
The trial of the former Russian official and collaborator will take place in March 2025.
Dmitry Ovsyannikov
Russian statesman and political figure. “Governor” of Sevastopol from September 18, 2017 to July 11, 2019. Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation.
In April 2020, he was expelled from the United Russia party and removed from office after a scandal at Izhevsk airport.
The case against Ovsyannikov
At the end of January, it became known that Britain’s National Crime Agency had detained the former “governor” of occupied Sevastopol, Dmitry Ovsyannikov, for evading sanctions.
The occupation “official” came under EU and US sanctions even before the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. In 2022, Britain extended sanctions against Ovsyannikov. It is also under restrictions in Ukraine, Canada, Australia and Switzerland. However, last year the European Union lifted sanctions against Dmitry Ovsyannikov.
