  • Launch of OFAC Reconsideration Portal

    OFAC

    The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is launching a new online Reconsideration Portal for the submission of requests to be removed from an OFAC sanctions list. This portal is intended to streamline the petitions process by guiding submitters to provide necessary information upfront, rather than through a series of questionnaire/answer exchanges that can delay efficient adjudication of a delisting petition. Listed persons can also request certain unclassified, non-privileged information underlying their sanctions determination (a "courtesy document") through the Reconsideration Portal. To accompany this new portal, OFAC is updating its website with additional information on the petitions process.

The investigation concerns a suspected VAT ‘carousel’ fraud – a complex criminal scheme that takes advantage of EU rules on cross-border transactions between its Member States, as these are exempt from value-added tax (VAT), with an estimated damage amounting to around €13 million in evaded VAT. The investigation also concerns money laundering and participation in a criminal organisation involving 26 French companies, mainly based in the Ile-de-France region.
