Controlled by the Benetton family, the group has only a negligible exposure to Russia, it said in March.
Autogrill's subsidiary company HMSHost Russia has a highway outlet in Sochi in southern Russia and another in the airport in Saint Petersburg, according to its website.
A total of 4.1 million euros ($4.4 million), which represent 0.1% of the group's 2021 revenue, came in from Russia, the company reported in its latest annual report.
HMSHost Russia has a rouble account in "a Russian bank controlled by Intesa Sanpaolo", the company said in the same answer. The account balance stood at a little more than 2 million euros at the end of 2021.
It was not clear what stage the sale process had reached. Autogrill was not immediately available for further comment. ($1 = 0.9310 euros)
