The European Commission proposed to consider the circumvention of sanctions as a crime in the EU

This is reported by TASS with reference to the statement of the EC.

“Today, the European Commission proposes to add the violation of EU restrictive measures to the list of EU crimes,” the report says.

At the same time, the European Commission proposes to confiscate the assets and property of individuals and legal entities that have violated the sanctions.

Earlier, U.S. Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo, during a meeting with representatives of a number of foreign financial institutions, warned them about the risks of falling under secondary sanctions if they help evade anti-Russian sanctions.
