AFC Trends & Typologies: Case Studies in Sanctions Evasion
Overview
Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the West has imposed unprecedented, sweeping sanctions against the world’s 11th-largest economy and a G20 nation. Since then, Russia has resorted to increasingly sophisticated methods and techniques to evade financial sanctions and export controls. At the same time, long-standing rogue actors such as Iran and North Korea have continued to flout stringent economic restrictions by deploying their sprawling international proxy networks. This webinar will examine three case studies in sanctions evasion, focusing on the following typologies: the misuse of cryptocurrencies by North Korea, the concealment of ownership and control by Russian oligarchs, and the circumvention of trade controls by the Iranian government.
