OFAC targets entities facilitating Yevgeniy Prigozhin

Treasury has announced that OFAC has taken action as part of its ongoing sanctions efforts regarding financier Yevgeniy Prigozhin, by targeting entities located in Sudan, Hong Kong, and Thailand that have enabled his ability to evade U.S. sanctions. The actors targeted have directly facilitated Prigozhin’s global operations and attempted to suppress and discredit protestors seeking democratic reforms in Sudan.

OFAC’s action targets three individuals and five entities directly involved in furthering Prigozhin’s operations in Sudan and assisting his ability to evade sanctions. For information on the targeted individuals and entities, see BankersOnline's OFAC Update.
