18 May 2026 Adani Enterprises LimitedAdani Enterprises pays 275 million USD over Iranian liquefied petroleum gas USABreaches of sanctions and embargoes €236.1m

From November 2023 to June 2025, the Indian conglomerate bought allegedly Omani and Iraqi liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) via a trader in Dubai which in fact originated from Iran; 32 payments totalling around 192 million USD were routed through US banks. The US Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) assessed the violations as egregious and not voluntarily self-disclosed; Adani had recklessly ignored numerous warning signs (AIS manipulation by the tankers, implausible loading ports, conspicuous price discounts, irregularities in the certificates of origin).

What organisations can take from it

Companies that source commodities below market price via intermediaries must actively check origin, vessel movements and documents – mere name screening against sanctions lists is not enough.

Relevance to training and awareness

Warning signs in commodity and shipping transactions (origin, AIS gaps, price discounts)

15 Jan 2025 Donghai JA Solar Technology Co., Ltd.UFLPA list: solar manufacturer Donghai JA Solar Technology added USAForced and child labour Order

The U.S. Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force (FLETF) added the manufacturer of silicon ingots, wafers and solar modules from Jiangsu Province to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) Entity List because it sources material from Xinjiang. The company's goods are therefore presumed to have been produced with forced labour on import into the US unless the importer rebuts this.

What organisations can take from it

Companies procuring solar modules should have the origin of the polysilicon documented without gaps.

7 Jan 2025 XCL Resources Holdings LLC, Verdun Oil Company II LLC, EP Energy LLCFTC: record penalty of 5.6 million USD for gun-jumping in oil producer acquisition USAMerger control €5.39m

During the HSR waiting period for the 1.4 billion USD acquisition of EP Energy, XCL and Verdun already took control of day-to-day operations: they halted drilling projects, managed customer contracts in Utah and coordinated prices in Texas (94 days). In a settlement filed by the DOJ on behalf of the FTC, the companies agreed to a civil penalty of 5.6 million USD – the highest ever for gun-jumping in the US; court approval under the Tunney Act was still pending at the time of publication.

What organisations can take from it

Until clearance, the buyer must not exert any influence on the target company's operations – integration teams need clear gun-jumping rules.

27 Aug 2024 TOTSA TotalEnergies Trading SATotalEnergies trading subsidiary: attempted manipulation of gasoline futures USAMarket abuse and insider dealing €43m

The trading company sold physical gasoline below the bids in order to depress the benchmark price and thereby benefit its short positions in EBOB-related futures. Under the settlement, it is paying a civil penalty of 48 million USD.

What organisations can take from it
