26 Jun 2024 an Italian animation companyOFAC: USD 538,000 settlement with Italian animation company over payments to a North Korean animation studio USABreaches of sanctions and embargoesanonymised €503,321

A Rome-based animation company is paying USD 538,000 under a settlement with OFAC for apparent violations of the North Korea sanctions. According to OFAC's findings, between May 2019 and November 2021 the company remitted around USD 537,939 to a North Korean state-owned animation studio for outsourced animation work. As a result, US financial institutions processed wire transfers in which the Government of North Korea had a blocked interest and exported financial services to North Korea. OFAC treated the apparent violations as non-egregious and not voluntarily self-disclosed; the base penalty was USD 725,000. Summarised in our own words.

How the radar is compiled

Official sources only

Every case is based on a decision, press release or database of an authority or a court. Press and law-firm reports count at most as additional references.

Four-eyes check

Whoever enters a case may not approve it. A second, independent check compares company, date, amount and area of law with the source. Only then is the case published.

Comparable amounts

Amounts are converted at the ECB reference rate on the day of the decision. Each case also shows the original amount.

Corrections on record

A correction is a new version that is checked again. Every change is logged. You can report errors directly on each case.

Case texts are translated from the German original. Where a translation is not yet available, the German text is shown and marked “(German original)”. Names of authorities, laws and companies are given as in the source (company names until they are anonymised).

Company names are anonymised two years after the decision in a case, in line with the practice of many supervisory authorities. The official sources remain linked.

The radar reports on published decisions and is not legal advice. Decisions that are not yet final are marked as such where the status is known.
