70According to the Court’s settled case-law, a restriction on the free movement of capital is permissible only if it is justified by overriding reasons in the public interest and, if that is the case, only if it is suitable for securing the attainment of the objective in question and does not go beyond what is necessary in order to attain it (see, to that effect, judgments of 11 October 2007, ELISA, C‑451/05, EU:C:2007:594, paragraphs 79 and 82; of 23 January 2014, DMC, C‑164/12, EU:C:2014:20, point 44; and of 21 June 2018, Fidelity Funds and Others, C‑480/16, EU:C:2018:480, paragraph 64).
