We invite you to join the “Sanctions as a Criminal Risk for Business” webinar on 19 May at 15:00 EEST.
Sanctions violations are increasingly becoming grounds for criminal proceedings, giving rise to material risks for businesses, their management and beneficial owners.
During the webinar, we will examine how law enforcement authorities use sanctions as a basis for criminal investigations in practice. We will discuss which business activities are characterised as sanctions circumvention and how the evidentiary record is built in such proceedings. We will also consider the potential criminalisation of sanctions circumvention and review the existing case law of Ukrainian courts in this area.
Date: 19 May
Time: 15:00–16:30
Format: Online, Youtube
Language: Ukrainian
Participation: Free of charge, registration required
