We share with you an interesting article published in the newspaper “El País” on 12/12/2023 (page 39) by the journalist Daniele Grasso, who “specialises in data analysis and tries to tell the world through it”. In his research, Grasso wanted to know the opinion of José Luis Iriarte, Professor of International Private Law at the Universidad Pública de Navarra and collaborator of the Lupicinio International Law Firm, on the functioning of international sanctions in the context of the system of transfers of football players between European and Russian clubs.
In this context, Professor Iriarte, a renowned expert on international sanctions, considers that paying millions of euros to a football club owned by a person sanctioned by the European Union, either because he owns more than 50% of the club or because he is a subsidiary and therefore controls the assets, is “entering a minefield” and “can be problematic”, “since, in the absence of a clear interpretation by the Court of Justice of the European Union, it can be understood that it is an operation of very dubious legality”.
