UK IMPOSES REDUCED FINANCIAL PENALTY FOR SANCTIONS VIOLATION

On 28^th October, HM Treasury issued a Notice saying that, following a review, OFSI had imposed a penalty of £146,341 on Telia Carrier Ltd for breaches of the Syria sanctions regulations, this being in replacement for a penalty of £300,000 imposed in July.  Telia was found to have facilitated international telephone calls to SyriaTel.  It had exercised the option of asking for a ministerial review, the result of which was a reduced penalty.
