11 Aug 2026 Citibank, N.A., London BranchOFSI imposes 4.7 million GBP on Citibank London over Russia payments United KingdomBreaches of sanctions and embargoes €5.54m

Mainly between February and November 2022, the London branch processed 970 payments totalling around 19.7 million GBP that breached Russia and anti-corruption sanctions. The causes were overloaded alert handling after the wave of designations, delayed escalation and human error; the bank voluntarily disclosed most of the breaches and received a 20% reduction from HM Treasury's Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI).

What organisations can take from it

During waves of designations, alert handling needs additional trained capacity – backlogs and wrong decisions in screening are themselves sanctions breaches.
