Dmitry Aleksandrovich Lukashenko (Russian: Дмитрий Александрович Лукашенко, Belarusian: Дзмітры Лукашэнка, Dzmitry Alaksandravič Łukašenka; born 23 March 1980) is a Belarusian businessman and son of Alexander Lukashenko, the President of Belarus, who is frequently thought to be the last dictator in Europe.[1]

He is the head of the Presidential Sports Club.

Accusations, EU sanctions[]

In 2011, after the wave of repressions that followed the 2010 presidential election in Belarus, Lukashenko became subject to an EU travel ban and asset freeze as part of a sanctions list of 208 individuals responsible for political repressions, electoral fraud and propaganda.[2] In the EU Council's decision,[3] Lukashenko has been described as "Businessman, with active participation in financial operations involving the Lukashenka family.” The sanctions were lifted in 2016.[4]

On 21 June 2021, Dmitry Lukashenko was again banned from entering the European Union.[5][6] Switzerland joined the sanctions on 7 July.[7]
