The Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury fined Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas in the amount of 583 thousand dollars. These measures were taken for violating the sanctions imposed against the Russian Federation due to the occupation of Crimea.
This was reported on the agency’s website.
On July 30, 2015, the United States Department of the Treasury added to the sanctions list the oil trader IPP Oil Products (Cyprus) Limited, which was associated with the Russian businessman Gennady Timchenko. A week later, a Deutsche Bank subsidiary made a payment of $ 29 million, in which IPP’s financial interest was maintained.
According to the Ministry of Finance, the bank made a large payment through the United States, which was associated with a series of fuel oil purchases. The department believes that the bank may have known about the sanctions against the Cypriot company, but did not take sufficient measures to exclude profits for it.
The second episode is associated with a series of transactions totaling more than $ 276.7 thousand, committed in the same 2015 in the interest of the Krasnodar Regional Investment Bank, which was also under sanctions for working in occupied Crimea.
Recall that the European Union extended the sanctions against Russia for the annexation of Crimea for another six months. In the near future, they plan to add those involved in the construction of the Kerch Bridge to the sanctions list.
Earlier, RBC-Ukraine wrote that Cyprus is blocking the introduction of European sanctions against Russia for the construction of the Kerch Bridge.
We add that Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba explained why Cyprus is blocking European Union sanctions against Russia.
