Sute de hotărâri ale Trezoreriei din Belgia ce vizează activele rusești înghețate, declarate ilegale de către Consiliul de Stat, cea mai înaltă instanță administrativă a țării

The Belgian Council of State ruled that the federal Treasury lacked the legal authority to decide on the release of frozen Russian assets. This decision could impact numerous past rulings but does not automatically unblock the assets. The case arose after Russian bank BCS challenged the freezing of its assets held at Euroclear, which occurred following EU sanctions. The Council found that the delegation of powers to the Treasury was too vague, raising questions about the legality of previous decisions. The Belgian Finance Minister is reviewing the ruling, which may affect other similar cases if legal frameworks are not amended.
