10 Sep 2025 Colorcon LimitedPharmaceutical supplier Colorcon paid Moscow salaries via sanctioned banks United KingdomBreaches of sanctions and embargoes €176,590

In 2022, the Moscow office of the British subsidiary made payments – mainly salaries – to accounts at Alfa-Bank, Promsvyazbank, Sberbank and VTB; after deduction of payments covered by a general licence, around 128,300 GBP remained in breach. The approval process in the UK checked only the amount and the recipient, not the bank; because of a four-month delay in reporting, HM Treasury's Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI) granted only a 35% instead of a 50% reduction.

What organisations can take from it

Anyone approving payments must also screen the recipient's bank against sanctions lists – and report breaches discovered without delay.

Relevance to training and awareness

Payment approval with screening of the recipient bank, prompt reporting
