I don't see these people as criminals. Far more criminal is a sophisticated government that uses super computers to hunt down its unsuspecting citizens.
the USA lost war against Muscovite
Kleptocracy (Putler´s thugs) and you say "I don't see these people as criminals." are you posting from Olgino?
The real loser is not the USA but Europe, especially Britain. The U.K. sold itself out completely to the Russian oligarchs, and now they are trying to shake down the shortfall on their own little people. A basket case country. France too is not far behind in that. And this thread is about a French incident.
you made a good point, USA is preparing new law , which will make Muscovite dirty money illegal in the USA , my guess UK, France , Italy will follow the USA lead

Writing new laws is never against criminals. Especially not against these big ones. New laws are always for putting little people away, not the criminals. So if they are writing new laws,
too bad for you, they will hit you first.

the Kremlin thugs , do you?

A key provision (section 241) of the new Russian sanctions law mandates applying stronger pressure on
Russian oligarchs.
The law states that an interagency report, compiled by the
Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of State, will identify the major Russian oligarchs, "as determined by their closeness to the Russian regime and their net worth" (including that of their spouses, children, parents, and siblings), and their connection to Russian president Vladimir Putin.
Section 241 also specifies that the report should include the role of Russian parastatal entities in the Russian economy, their leadership, beneficial ownership, and any of their existing non-Russian business affiliations (i.e. assets and investments abroad).
Additionally, the law requires an assessment of the exposure of key U.S. economic sectors – with special attention devoted to the banking, securities, insurance and real estate sectors – to Russian politically exposed persons (PEPs, i.e. people who have been entrusted with a prominent public function) and parastatal organizations,.
The report will also assess the effects of secondary sanctions on Russian oligarchs, state-owned and parastatal entities, and their consequences for the economies of Russia, the U.S. and its allies.
Previously, the sanctions targeted only a handful of oligarchs, including Gennady Timchenko, the brothers Arkady and Boris Rotenberg, and Yury Kovalchuk. According to the European media platform, Euractiv.com, that specializes in EU policy, the new law sanctioning Russian oligarchs "could have tremendous implications for a wide group of Russia-focused businesses and individuals – from joint venture partners in strategic projects to private wealth managers operating out of London, New York, Monaco, Geneva, Hong Kong, etc."
