The week dissected: 11 changes

Sanctions movements · all insights

The week dissected, 31 August – 4 September 2026: 6 additions, 1 removals and 4 amendments across the EU, OFAC, UK and UN lists.

Who the entries concern: 2 persons, 9 companies and other legal entities. The busiest day was Friday 4 September with 8 changes. Most of the movement ran through OFAC SDN List (7 entries). By programme, OFAC's Cuba programme (US-CUBA) led with 6 entries, ahead of programme GB-RUS at 4.

For screening teams the type split is the work plan: person entries are name-and-date matching; legal-entity entries need ownership unwrapping before a match can be cleared; vessel entries reach into trade-finance and charter files.
