Today, investigative stories are being launched across Europe into the implementation of sanctions following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The investigation was coordinated by CiFAR and the EIC (European Investigative Collaboration) with the support of OCCRP and thanks to IJ4EU and NED, and published by Mediapart (France), Info Libre (Spain), and Domani (Italy).
While sanctions lists have grown this year primarily due to new listings in connection to individuals linked to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, anti-corruption sanctions have not been forgotten. As CiFAR launches its updated Sanctions Watch platform today, which tracks individuals sanctioned for reasons related to corruption, this blog takes stock of this year’s changes in key anti-corruption sanctions lists across different jurisdiction
The aim of this webinar will be to explore the new possibilities and hurdles that the anti-breach legislation brings for the public and the private sector.
In this webinar, we would like to look at the lessons learnt from the past in confiscating sanctioned assets, at how new initiatives can remedy existing challenges, as well as at ways in which countries are already attempting to confiscate Russian and other foreign assets.
The European Commission proposed on Wednesday the development of a Directive on criminal penalties for the violation of Union law on restrictive measures and for new measures to be introduced under their planned Directive on asset recovery and confiscation. Under the new proposals, new EU-wide rules would come into force that cover several aspects related not only to the sanctions implemented with respect to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but also more generally to other sanctions regimes and to asset recovery more generally.
This online event will explore and discuss the likely challenges ahead and the steps needed to move forward from sanctions to recovery in jurisdictions implementing sanctions with respect to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
