Sanctions regulations are in constant evolution and the implications these can have in international arbitration are numerous. Do not miss this opportunity to listen and discuss sanctions in international arbitration with such distinguished panelists and moderators. I certainly look forward to it. Kudos to ArbIt Italian Forum for Arbitration and ADR for organizing this much needed event. #internationalarbitration #sanctions ArbIt Italian Forum for Arbitration and ADR Marina Matousekova Irene Petrelli

#Pylos9 ⚖️ #Greece gives no compensation nor apology for the unjustly accused and imprisoned survivors of the #Adriana shipwreck. In a recent decision, the Court of Kalamata rejected the compensation request of the nine survivors of the shipwreck, unjustly arrested and imprisoned in Greece for nearly a year before their acquittal in May 2024. The Court considered that the survivors' time in pre-trial detention was justified and could not give rise to compensation, given that the lack of jurisdiction of Greek courts which led to their acquittal, could not be established before their trial in May 2024. This reasoning, however, disregards the fact that judicial authorities were in reality aware from the start of the investigation (1) that the Adriana shipwreck took place in international waters, 47 nautical miles southwest of Pylos and (2) that Greek courts therefore lacked jurisdiction in the case. (See: https://lnkd.in/eq7SwVeR). This fact was known by all, undisputed and raised by the defense attorneys of the Pylos 9 from the outset of the procedure. It should have justified the immediate release of the survivors back in June 2023. In a context of systematic criminalisation of migrants in #Greece, this decision appears as an additional punitive measure towards the survivors who have repeatedly been exposed to unfair persecution by the Greek authorities, be it at sea or in court.

#Montenegro Nabs Alleged #Kavač Clan Lawyer. Montenegrin authorities have apprehended a lawyer, identified as #DimitrijeDapčević, on suspicion of involvement in laundering €2.6 million (US$2.82 million) associated with the country's notorious criminal networks. Dapčević, who previously represented #RadojeZvicer, a fugitive leader of the Kavač clan, is suspected of forming a criminal organization and engaging in multiple counts of #moneylaundering. Reports suggest he not only represented Zvicer but also allegedly laundered money for him and served as a legal advisor to other prominent figures within the Kavač clan. The operation targeting Dapčević received assistance from #Europol, which provided compromising information obtained from the Sky ECC application, widely used by #criminalnetworks until its dismantling in March 2021. Zvicer, Dapčević's client and friend, remains at large since international warrants were issued against him by both #Serbia and #Montenegro in 2020. The rivalry between the Kavač and Škaljari clans, stemming from #Kotor on Montenegro’s Adriatic coast, has escalated into a violent feud over control of drug smuggling routes from #SouthAmerica to #Europe. This conflict has caused numerous casualties and led to a polarization within the criminal underworld, #lawenforcement, and politics in Serbia and Montenegro. At the core of the conflict is the battle for dominance over lucrative cocaine smuggling routes, reflecting Europe's high demand for #narcotics, valued in the billions of euros.
