Why It Matters
Sanctions compliance isn’t just a checkbox — it’s a critical shield against frozen payments, failed deals, and reputational collapse.
- $1.3 Billion in U.S. Penalties just in 2023 OFAC issued more than $1.3B in sanctions-related penalties in year 2023 alone — a record high. Many involved companies failed to detect indirect ownership or used outdated screening tools.
- €4.5 Billion in EU Sanctions Fines Since 2022 Following the invasion of Ukraine, EU regulators have ramped up enforcement. Major companies have paid over €4.5B in fines and settlements for violating Russia-related sanctions and export controls.
- Imprisonment for Sanction Violations. Between 2022 and 2025, over 25 individuals were imprisoned in the US for sanctions violations, including cases involving evasion and false documentation. During the same period, at least 10 individuals across the EU faced criminal convictions and custodial sentences related to breaches of sanctions regulations.
- Payments Blocked, Accounts Frozen Banks in Canada, the U.S., and EU are increasingly flagging and freezing transactions — sometimes for issues as minor as missing ownership data or unclear trade routes.
Secondary Sanctions Are Not Just a Threat — They're Real
Businesses transacting with entities in China, UAE, or Türkiye may face secondary sanctions if those entities are tied to e.g., Russia’s defense or energy sectors.
Your Partners Could Be the Weakest Link
Exposure through joint ventures, distributors, or suppliers — especially in high-risk regions — remains a top driver of enforcement actions in both North America and Europe.
Reputational Damage and Lost Deals
In 2024, multiple high-profile M&A and financing deals collapsed due to concerns about sanctions compliance. Investors are demanding clarity, not just policies.
Ignorance Is Not a Defense
Regulators globally are clear: “We didn’t know” is not an acceptable excuse. Failure to identify, assess, and mitigate sanctions risks can lead to liability — even for passive business ties.
