Yanukovych's son challenged EU sanctions three weeks after his death

In March this year, news spread across the media regarding the death of the younger son of fugitive Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. Allies and close associates of the former president confirmed that Viktor Yanukovych Jr. died at Lake Baikal.

However, almost three weeks after the funeral in occupied Crimea, the late Viktor Yanukovych Jr. managed to challenge the decision to impose sanctions against him at the Court of Justice of the European Union.

The application from the deceased son of the president was submitted to the court in Luxembourg on 8 April of this year, while he had drowned on 20 March.
