Inditex faces scrutiny as Zara products reappear in Russia

Inditex, parent company of Zara, reported strong quarterly earnings, but its products are reportedly being sold again in Russia, a country the company claims to have exited. This situation mirrors previous reports of SKF products reaching Russia via intermediaries. Inditex maintains it has no operations in Russia, yet Zara clothing has appeared in stores there. Many Western companies have left Russia, but more remain, contributing tax revenue that funds the war in Ukraine. Businesses associated with Russia risk severe repercussions, as seen with oil billionaire Torbjörn Törnqvist and Gunvor.
