31 Oct 2023 Woerd-Tech BVWoerd-Tech BV: 200,000 EUR penalty for microchips to Russian defence customers NetherlandsExport control and dual-use goods €200,000

The company of a Russian-Dutch national from Gorssel sold microchips, semiconductors and other electronics to a Russian purchasing organisation with an FSB licence and to customers from the defence industry, and after the tightening of sanctions in 2022 routed shipments ostensibly via the Maldives and other countries. Following charges brought by the Dutch Public Prosecution Service (Openbaar Ministerie, OM), the Rotterdam District Court (Rechtbank Rotterdam) imposed a fine of 200,000 EUR on the BV (final after the appeals were withdrawn) and 18 months' imprisonment on the managing director (appeal proceedings pending).

What organisations can take from it

Banks report suspicious Russia payments to the FIU – sham routes via third countries are uncovered in this way and hit both companies and management.
