Accusations, EU sanctions

In 2011, after the wave of repressions that followed the 2010 presidential election in Belarus, Lukashenko became subject to an EU travel ban and asset freeze as part of a sanctions list of 208 individuals responsible for political repressions, electoral fraud and propaganda.[2] The sanctions were lifted in 2016.

In the EU Council's decision,[3] Lukashenko has been described as "Businessman, with active participation in financial operations involving the Lukashenka family.”

Besides that, Lukashenko remains one of the few people on the sanctions list of the United States.[4]
