Anti-Kremlin protesters staged a rally in Paris on Sunday, urging the EU to slap sanctions on the socialite wife of the Russian deputy defence minister, who they accuse of bypassing sanctions.
Chanting"Sanctions" and holding placards, several dozen activists gathered outside the presumed home of Svetlana Maniovich in Paris's seventh district, one of the French capital's most expensive arrondissements.
"This is a family of a war criminal," Maria Pevchikh, a top Navalny associate, told AFP at the rally.Activists believe Ivanov's wife should be sanctionedLast December, Navalny's team released an investigation, saying that for years Ivanov's family enjoyed a life of luxury in Europe with vacations in Saint-Tropez, Rolls-Royces and exclusive jewellery.
After the start of the war, Ivanov's wife moved to France where she continues to enjoy a luxury lifestyle, they said.Before the divorce Maniovich changed her last name to Ivanova, and the deputy defence minister remains her only source of financial support, the activists said.
