The United States imposed sanctions on three top officials of the Russian-controlled International Investment Bank in Budapest on Wednesday after it said Hungary had ignored U.S. concerns raised over the "opaque Kremlin platform".
The three names added to the U.S. sanctions list are Russian nationals Nikolay Kosov, the bank's former chairman, and Georgy Potapov, as well as Hungarian national Imre Laszloczki, the latter two high-ranking officials on the IIB's management board.
