French ICC judge Nicolas Guillou says U.S. sanctions imposed in August 2025 after the court’s warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have left him unable to access basic financial and digital services.

Guillou, who served on the ICC panel that issued the 2024 arrest warrant for Netanyahu, said he has effectively been locked out of modern economic life. “Visa and Mastercard have blocked all my cards. I cannot make any purchases,” he said, describing the impact of sanctions imposed by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Guillou, who served on the ICC panel that issued the 2024 arrest warrant for Netanyahu, said he has effectively been locked out of modern economic life. “Visa and Mastercard have blocked all my cards. I cannot make any purchases,” he said, describing the impact of sanctions imposed by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump.

“I am a judge, yet treated like a criminal,” Guillou added, warning that the measures go beyond personal inconvenience and strike at the integrity of legal institutions.

He said the restrictions extend far beyond banking. Guillou can no longer use major global platforms, including Amazon, Airbnb, Booking.com, and Expedia, and even some UPS deliveries have reportedly been blocked.

“I discovered that almost all payment methods in France today are American,” he told France Télévisions. “The only cards we have in France are Visa and Mastercard.”

In an article published by Anadolu Ajansı on Monday, March 23rd, Guillou described the situation as a systemic form of pressure on legal professionals.

“Judges, lawyers, and politicians are being intimidated,” he said. “If prosecutors are afraid to prosecute, if lawyers are afraid to defend, if judges are afraid to judge… then we no longer have democracy.” ...

Fast alle Zahlungsmittel sind amerikanisch.

Meine Karte funktioniert nicht mehr, weder Visa noch Mastercard.

Ich kann nicht mehr bei Amazon bestellen oder eine Airbnb-Unterkunft buchen – meine Transaktion wird storniert.

Es ist wie eine Zeitreise zurück in eine vordigitale Welt.

Eine kafkaeske Situation: Dieselbe schwarze Liste wie Terroristen und Drogenhändler.

Wenn Richter Angst haben, Urteile zu fällen, dann gibt es keine Demokratie mehr.
Wir werden nur noch aus Angst handeln."
