On 16 July, the US Treasury issued a news release advising that OFAC had reached an agreement with Essentra FZE Company Limited of UAE (and based in a free zone there) to settle its potential civil liability for 3 apparent violations of the North Korea Sanctions Regulations. It is said to have used a network of front companies in China and other countries using deceptive practices, and received payment for the shipment of goods into its bank accounts at the foreign branch of a US bank between September 2018 and December 2018.
