BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Alexander Pumpyansky, the son of Russian tycoon Dmitry Pumpyansky, won an appeal against sanctions the European Union introduced over Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the bloc's court said on Wednesday.

In the ruling, the court said the EU council had admitted that from March 9, 2022 - two weeks after the invasion of Ukraine and six months before the first set of sanctions - Pumpyansky was no longer president and member of the board of Sinara nor board member of TMK, which had been the reason for putting him on the sanctions list.
