The alleged actions of an export compliance official are at the heart of “egregious” apparent sanctions violations by New York-based Comtech Telecommunications Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary announced Thursday by the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
Comtech has agreed to pay $894,111 to settle its potential civil liability for sales and services to a government-owned entity in Sudan in violation of OFAC sanctions at the time. OFAC deemed the case egregious, though Comtech received credit for voluntarily self-disclosing the apparent violations.
