Today the UK government announced compound penalties of £700,386.01 imposed for breaches of the UK’s export controls.

The exports were of dual-use goods and military goods.
This announcement is in line with the HMRC’s policy of entering into civil settlements using its compounding powers, and with anonymised publication of the details.
