Who was sanctioned, and for what?

Miami real estate company Family International Realty LLC is paying USD 1,076,923 jointly with a further settling party under a settlement with OFAC (joint payment) for 73 apparent violations of the Ukraine-/Russia-related sanctions. According to OFAC's findings, between 2018 and 2023 the company, in a wilful evasion scheme, transferred nominal ownership of three luxury condominiums belonging to two sanctioned Russian oligarchs to non-sanctioned relatives and their shell companies and continued to rent them out; the company earned around USD 182,442 in commissions and reimbursements. OFAC treated the apparent violations as egregious and not voluntarily self-disclosed; the base penalty equalled the statutory maximum of USD 30,080,709. USD 182,442 is deemed satisfied by a forfeiture payment to the DOJ.
