2 Jul 2025 Key Holding, LLCLogistics company Key Holding: Colombian subsidiary organised 36 shipments to Cuba USABreaches of sanctions and embargoes €517,929

After the acquisition of a Colombian logistics company in December 2021, the latter organised 36 freight shipments to Cuba worth around 3.06 million USD up to July 2023. Neither the US parent nor the subsidiary had a sanctions compliance programme for foreign companies; the US Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) assessed the case as non-egregious and voluntarily self-disclosed.

What organisations can take from it

After an acquisition, roll out the sanctions compliance programme to the new foreign subsidiary immediately – the Cuba embargo applies to US-controlled subsidiaries worldwide.
