2 Dec 2025 IPI Partners, LLCPrivate equity firm IPI held oligarch's funds for four years after designation €9.89m
In 2017/2018, the Chicago fund manager specialising in data centres took in capital from the Russian oligarch Suleiman Kerimov via nested structures and continued to manage this investment for four years after his designation in April 2018. The US Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) assessed the case as non-egregious and not voluntarily self-disclosed.
Screen investors through to the beneficial owner and re-check them when new designations occur – nested structures do not protect against liability.

11 Aug 2026 Citibank, N.A., London BranchOFSI imposes 4.7 million GBP on Citibank London over Russia payments €5.54m
Mainly between February and November 2022, the London branch processed 970 payments totalling around 19.7 million GBP that breached Russia and anti-corruption sanctions. The causes were overloaded alert handling after the wave of designations, delayed escalation and human error; the bank voluntarily disclosed most of the breaches and received a 20% reduction from HM Treasury's Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI).
During waves of designations, alert handling needs additional trained capacity – backlogs and wrong decisions in screening are themselves sanctions breaches.
