Sanctions & Trade Embargoes
NCA issues Amber Alert warning state-backed networks, particularly from Russia, Iran, and North Korea, using shadow fleets and opaque corporate structures to evade sanctions on oil and other commodities
These networks exploit shell companies, complex ownership chains, and minimal transparency to conceal cargo origins, with a “red–blue” model linking red companies directly to sanctioned sources and blue companies to Western finance, insurance, and commodities markets. The alert identifies red flags such as sudden large-volume trading by new companies, limited corporate history, and registration in high-risk…

NCA’s UKFIU SARs Booklet Nov 25 shows how high-quality SARs and DAMLs helped law enforcement seize millions, including £2M from organised crime, £1.2M from money-mule activity, and £850K from fraud
Case studies illustrate how timely and detailed DAML SARs have directly supported account freezing orders and asset forfeiture actions across multiple money-laundering and fraud investigations. They highlight recurring typologies — such as unexplained international transfers, excessive cash deposits, layering through linked companies, and suspected money-mule activity — and demonstrate how robust reporting enables law enforcement to trace, restrain and recover criminal proceeds…
