Former Everton director Sarvar Ismailov has been sanctioned by the British Government.
Ismailov, a nephew of already-sanctioned Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov, was today named among a list of new figures to be hit with action. The sanctions follow the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Ismailov, whose assets have been frozen, was appointed to the club's board of directors last year before stepping down in November due to "personal and health reasons". He had also held commercial roles within the club.
