Justiția olandeză obligă ING să continue să ofere servicii bancare grupului rus Gazprom

A Dutch court has ruled that ING Bank cannot close Gazprom's accounts until the company opens another account in Europe, despite sanctions risks. Gazprom argued that multiple banks refused to open accounts for them, which could hinder their payment obligations. ING expressed concerns about reputational risks due to Gazprom's ties to the Russian state. The court acknowledged the importance of both parties' interests but emphasized that Gazprom is not sanctioned and has made sufficient efforts to find another bank. The ruling allows ING to maintain the relationship until Gazprom secures an alternative banking option.
