16 Jun 2025 Unicat Catalyst Technologies, LLCCatalyst manufacturer Unicat supplied Iran and blocked Venezuelan company €3.35m
In 2016–2021, the Texas supplier of catalysts for refineries and steelworks supplied products and advice to customers in Iran via its former CEO, employees and agents, and sold goods to a blocked Venezuelan company. The US Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) considered it an egregious but voluntarily self-disclosed case; there were parallel settlements with the DOJ and BIS, which were taken into account in determining the amount.
When senior management itself steers embargo business, only independent controls and whistleblower channels help – voluntary self-disclosure after discovery reduces the penalty but does not prevent it.
