Sergiy Fedotov lives in Russia, his company manufactured anti-tank barriers and stoves for the occupiers.
Latvia's Foreign Minister Baiba Braze has placed Russian citizen Sergiy Fedotov on the list of persons under the visa ban.
The decision was made in accordance with immigration law, banning Fedotov from entering Latvia for an indefinite period, according to Delfi.
Fedotov is the father of Yulia Stepanenko — a candidate for prime minister of Latvia from the alliance “Sovereign Power / Union of Young Latvians.”
Investigative journalists found that the man and his company, Forma ŽBI, provided financial and material support to Russian military forces in their war against Ukraine for several years. In particular, his company produced for the occupiers anti-tank barriers and stoves, and Fedotov himself handed over vehicles to the logistics funds of the Russian army.
Fedotov confirmed his familial ties to the Latvian politician. Earlier she refused to explain the sources of expensive gifts from her father, and after travel restrictions were imposed, Fedotov transferred his Riga apartment to his daughter.
