26 May 2026 Sabre Global Technologies LimitedSabre subsidiary accepted payments from designated Ural Airlines United KingdomBreaches of sanctions and embargoes €1.16m

The provider of a travel booking system continued to provide services to Ural Airlines, designated in May 2022, requested payments of around 906,600 USD and, after the funds were frozen by the bank, looked for alternative payment routes, which HM Treasury's Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI) regarded as circumvention. A lack of escalation during a change of roles, vacant leadership positions in legal and compliance, policies focused on US law and screening that did not flag the designation all contributed.

What organisations can take from it

If an existing customer is designated, escalate this immediately; looking for alternative payment routes after the bank has frozen funds is itself a breach.

Relevance to training and awareness

Responding to new designations of existing customers, prohibition of circumvention

29 Jan 2025 Mobile TeleSystems Public Joint Stock Company (MTS)Federal Court dismisses mobile operator MTS's challenge to sanctions listing CanadaBreaches of sanctions and embargoes Order

Russia's largest mobile and fixed-line operator challenged its inclusion on the Canadian Russia sanctions list directly in court. The Federal Court (2025 FC 181) upheld the striking out of the application, sought by the Attorney General of Canada, without leave to amend, because MTS should first have used the delisting procedure before the Minister provided for in the Regulations.

What organisations can take from it

The route against a sanctions listing is first the administrative delisting procedure; business partners must observe the listing until then.
