Sanctions
Sanctions Exemplar
Recently the US Department of Treasury sanctioned an overseas financial institution. As we have excellent, long-term relationships with OFAC and FinCen, we were retained by the foreign liquidator as a monitor to investigate the crimes which led to the designation.
We regularly reported to the US Government of our progress, helping the liquidator and the foreign government to maintain his bona fides. Throughout this matter, we leveraged our excellent international law enforcement, regulatory and diplomatic connections to navigate this challenging engagement in a dangerous jurisdiction during a worldwide pandemic.
As a result of our work over 90% of deposits were returned to depositors and international sanctions were brought against multiple sources of Terrorist financing.
