The Helsinki Hall stadium in Finland may be expropriated by the country’s authorities as part of new sanctions against Russia, the Finnish news agency STT reported.
The news agency clarifies that new sanctions are still being developed. It is likely that new sanctions will be announced in December.
About 45% of the stadium’s shares belong to Russian businessmen Roman Rotenberg and Gennady Timchenko, who are under personal sanctions of the European Union.
The arena is situated next to Pasila railway station, which is the second busiest railway station in Finland, 3.5 km north of the Helsinki Central railway station.
