Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on seven pleas in law of which six are essentially identical or similar to those relied on in Case T-340/14, Klyuyev v Council.

Furthermore, the applicant relies on a plea in law alleging that the Council failed to fulfil the criterion for including the applicant on the list of persons, entities and bodies subject to the restrictive measures, namely that the person has been identified as responsible for the misappropriation of Ukrainian State funds or human rights violations in Ukraine, as the only reason given for the listing of the applicant is that he is said to be subject to investigation in Ukraine for involvement in crimes in connection with the embezzlement of Ukrainian State funds and their illegal transfer outside Ukraine.
