Criminal and administrative liability profiles for Italian companies
After the recognition by the Russian Federation of the independence of the People’s Republics of Donbass, Donetsk and Luhansk, as well as the subsequent triggering of the Russian-Ukrainian armed conflict, the European Union has adopted a series of sanctioning measures against Russia, later extended also to Belarus.
The freezing of assets against individuals, the economic sanctions aimed at affecting the financial sector and trade, as well as the restrictions on economic relations, are some of the main responses to the serious events in our continent, which are having a significant impact also on Italian companies, imposing important limitations and exposing our companies to possible criminal and administrative responsibilities related to the violations of prohibitions and obligations imposed by the EU.
