The EU is sanctioning the retired Swiss Army Col. and previous NATO advisor Jacques Baud. The reason: Baud is spreading Russian propaganda, the EU says.
EU sanctions are not part of the judicial branch. They are punishments coming straight from the executive arm (Kaja Kallas‘ office is responsible for compiling and proposing them). Sanctions against individuals that have never been found guilty by any court of law should not be possible.
Even worse, Baud is living in an EU country and has now all his assets frozen and a travel ban for the entire Union (Switzerland is not part of the EU).
