Use of Section 110 by Russian Firms: Dr. Jim Stewart
Dr. Jim Stewart:
It would take some time because even amalgamating the various registries of companies and working out who owns these assets or whatever would take a substantial amount of time and would involve intercountry co-operation. It is not something that will be done in the next six months or year but it is possible that one could start off with certain areas where one believes there are Russian assets, try to track the ownership of these assets and see then if they could be subject to sanction or confiscation.
