Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine is top of mind for the Department of Justice, where efforts to thwart sanctions evasion have taken center stage.
Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco reiterated this focus as part of a moderated discussion at a New York City Bar Association event Wednesday. As part of her remarks, she noted the Justice Department is committed to the enforcement of sanctions the United States has placed on Russia over the course of the last two months since it first invaded Ukraine and that financial institutions and international corporations must pay close attention to the actions taken to avoid running afoul of the agency.
