23 Sep 2024 Amsterdam company pays settlement: dividend paid out to oligarch's company NetherlandsBreaches of sanctions and embargoes €215,000

At the end of 2021, a company based in Amsterdam paid out a dividend of around 18 million EUR to a Russian shareholder behind which there was a sanctioned person, repaid a loan to a listed Russian company in 2019 and did not freeze shares and voting rights; in addition, a gatekeeper was misinformed. In a settlement (transactie) with the Dutch Public Prosecution Service (Openbaar Ministerie), the company paid 195,000 EUR and the managing director, as de facto manager, 20,000 EUR.

What organisations can take from it

Dividends, loan repayments and voting rights vis-à-vis shareholders with a sanctioned owner in the background are also frozen – gatekeepers must know the full structure.

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.

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.
