UK – OFSI imposes its first ever financial penalty

The UK’s Official of Financial Sanctions Implementation has today imposed its first financial penalty.

The penalty relates to a single transaction of £200 relating to funds of a designated person under the Egyptian sanctions.

The bank, Raphaels Bank, self reported to OFSI.

The initial fine was £10,000 reduced to £5,000 in acknowledgment of the self-reporting.
