Fabio Celestini, a former Swiss international who passed through Troyes and Marseille, has left his coach post at FC Basel to join the CSKA Moscow in recent days. But Blick We learn that this new challenge could be worth serious legal troubles: the CSKA belongs to the Russian public bank Veb, targeted by European and Swiss sanctions because of its role in the financing of the war in Ukraine.
Under Swiss legislation, it is prohibited to receive an income from a sanctioned body. Celestini, if he repatriated his salary in Switzerland or Spain, where he resides, could be prosecuted criminally and risk up to five years in prison in Switzerland, and six in Spain. Unless you stay in Russia without transferring funds, its income becomes legally unusable in any area applying these sanctions.
