11 Nov 2024 Herbert Smith Freehills CIS LLPOFSI: GBP 465,000 penalty for Moscow law firm entity Herbert Smith Freehills CIS over payments to designated banks €562,409
On 11 November 2024 OFSI imposed a monetary penalty of GBP 465,000 on Herbert Smith Freehills CIS LLP, the Moscow office of an international law firm; without the 50 per cent discount for voluntary disclosure it would have been GBP 930,000, according to OFSI. According to OFSI's findings, between 25 and 31 May 2022 the entity made six payments totalling GBP 3,932,392.10 to three designated Russian banks, partly in the course of closing the office. OFSI identified insufficient checks and a lack of sanctions screening of the payments, as well as haste in winding down, as causes. OFSI made no findings against the London parent. A ministerial review upheld the penalty on 14 February 2025, and on 14 March 2025 the London parent agreed to pay the penalty in full on the entity's behalf.
