Here's the catch: EU countries can confiscate only properties officially registered to the Russian people involved, so there will be a rush by Russian oligarchs

Here's the catch: EU countries can confiscate only properties officially registered to the Russian people involved, so there will be a rush by Russian oligarchs to find easy to control figureheads to whom register their most important properties, and many are already owned by figureheads.

As usual, this legal trick "it's not mine now - it's my wife/son/friend" etc only passes when relevant regulator wants to look the other way. Most countries have laws against donations and transactions that are fraudulently done just to avoid the law. And now, everybody looks.
