Reports have emerged that the Russian government has blocked Ovechkin's primary bank account
Journalist Maxime Truman broke the news, citing sources close to the situation. According to Truman, the freezing of Ovechkin's account is due to an outstanding debt of $543 in federal taxes. Truman reported,
''Championat reports that Alex Ovechkin's business bank account has been frozen due to a debt of US$543 in federal taxes. It's not a good time to owe money to the government there, I suppose.''
This development comes at a particularly challenging time for Ovechkin, who has likely returned home for the off-season after the Washington Capitals' early exit from the NHL playoffs in the first round. The blocked account is reportedly Ovechkin's main personal bank account, making the situation even more pressing for the NHL superstar.
