Thu, September 12, 8:00 to 9:15am, Faculty of Law, University of Bucharest, Floor: 1st floor, Amphitheater 6 „Nicolae Basilescu”

Abstract

This study provides a qualitative analysis of mechanisms used to evade international sanctions, using legal documents, case studies, and global news aggregators as data sources. The objective is to reveal the transnational networks that companies use to circumvent international sanctions by transferring assets, layering beneficial ownership, and using crypto assets. The paper describes the methods used to evade international sanctions, outlining their operational features, key actors, assets, jurisdictions, and financial flows. By delineating sanction circumvention techniques, the paper contributes to the ongoing discourse on the effectiveness of international sanctions. The insights provided can assist policymakers, regulators, and academics in developing more effective strategies to combat such practices. The analysis is carried out under the project KLEPTOTRACE, co-funded by European Commission, ISF police.
