Hi Ahmed, thanks for commenting on this video. If you are unable to determine the ownership of the Russian company that produced the imported food, you may need to consider additional due diligence measures to ensure compliance with sanctions regulations. Here are a few steps you could potentially take: - Seek guidance from legal counsel: Consult with legal counsel to determine if any additional steps need to be taken to comply with sanctions regulations. - Conduct additional due diligence: Conduct further research on the Russian company to determine the ownership and control structure of the company. This could include reviewing public records, news articles, or conducting additional research online. - Contact the relevant regulatory authority: If you are still unable to determine ownership and control of the Russian company, you may need to contact the relevant regulatory authority, such as the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) for guidance. - Consider suspending the transaction: If you are unable to obtain sufficient information to confirm that the transaction does not violate sanctions regulations, it may be necessary to suspend the transaction until you can obtain more information. Compliance with sanctions regulations is crucial and failure to comply can result in severe penalties. My view is that is always better to err on the side of caution and take additional steps to ensure compliance. I hope the above can help you move in the right direction. Thanks for watching my videos! Marco
@@FinCrimeAgent hello Marco Hope you had a good day I just want to keep you updated about the Case we discussed on my previous comment on this video if you are interested As i said we have business going on with a client who wants to import goods that made from Russian company And after investigation we finally reached the owner of the company and after screening he's name and the company name against sanctions list's such as ofac un eu g7 group countries etc we couldn't find a match but after we did some research on adviers media such as wall street paper News and other websites the they all said that the owner of the company is stealing goods such food and medical stuff from Ukraine and export to other countries illegally So what you Think in this kind of case shall we keep doing business with hil because as a bank if he's not in sanctions list we are on the safe side ..
Hi Ahmed, thank you for keeping me updated on your situation. It's good to hear that you were able to identify the owner of the Russian company and conduct a thorough screening against the sanctions lists. Regarding the information you found in the media about the owner's alleged illegal activities, this presents a difficult dilemma. While the owner may not be on any sanctions lists, conducting business with a company engaged in illegal activities could potentially expose your bank to reputational and legal risks. I would recommend that you seek further guidance from legal counsel and/or the relevant regulatory authority on how to proceed in this situation. It may also be beneficial to gather more information about the allegations and determine their credibility before making any decisions. Ultimately, it's important to weigh the potential risks and benefits of continuing to do business with this client and make a decision that aligns with your bank's compliance policies and values. I hope this helps 👍🏻 Best, Marco
