Article summary

The US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has imposed full blocking sanctions pursuant to Executive Order 14024 against 22 individuals and entities who are related to a sanctions evasion network which supports Russia’s military-industrial complex. The principal target has been identified as the ‘Zimenkov network’, a Russian sanctions evasion network led by Russia and Cyprus based arms dealer Igor Vladimirovich Zimenkov. Various entities and individuals, including Zimenkov’s zon, Jonatan Zimenkov, have been designated due to their engagement with projects connected to Russian defence capabilities and support of sanctioned, state-owned Russian defence entities.
