OFAC SANCTIONS RUSSIAN MILITARY TECHNOLOGY PROCUREMENT NETWORK IN COORDINATION WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTION

On 19 October, a news release from OFAC announced that, in coordination with the DoJ and FBI, OFAC has designated a Russian network that procured military and sensitive dual-use technologies from US manufacturers and supplied them to Russian end-users. OFAC has designated Russian national and procurement agent Yury Yuryevich Orekhov and 2 of his companies, Nord-Deutsche Industrieanlagenbau GmbH and Opus Energy Trading LLC.  The designations highlight the US Government’s continuing efforts to hinder Russia’s ability to wage its war of aggression in Ukraine, including by holding accountable those who support Russia’s military by disrupting its illicit defence and technology procurement networks around the world.
