Bloomberg: Tinkov appealed to the British Foreign Office with a request to remove sanctions from him

“Removing sanctions from me would be fair,” the businessman said in a statement.

At the request of the agency, the British Foreign Office said that it does not comment on individual sanctions.

In November, the chairman of the board of Tinkoff Bank, Stanislav Bliznyuk, said that the bank "at one time" paid Tinkoff a large amount for the brand.
