3 Sep 2025 Fracht FWO Inc.Freight forwarder Fracht FWO chartered blocked Venezuelan airline with Mahan Air jet €1.38m
In May 2022, bypassing internal compliance procedures, the Houston freight forwarder engaged a blocked Venezuelan state-owned airline for a shipment from Mexico to Argentina; the aircraft used, which was also blocked, was operated by Iran's Mahan Air. The US Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) classified the case as egregious and not voluntarily self-disclosed, partly because two vice presidents bypassed the screening under time pressure.
Urgent customer orders never justify skipping sanctions screening of carriers and of the aircraft or vessels used.
