Well, take En+ Group for a start — another big Russian-linked metals outfit that somehow managed to keep trading in London while EVR got put in the freezer instantly. And there were plenty of UK-registered companies flagged in the press for having directors or shareholders tied to sanctioned individuals, yet they apparently had some sort of ‘invisibility cloak’ when it came to government action.
No one’s saying those firms were guilty of anything — just that the government treated near-identical situations very differently. EVR got the full “instant freeze” treatment, while others with comparable exposure sailed on untouched thanks to ownership loopholes and slow-motion decision-making. But sure — totally consistent.
