Sanctions movements · all insights

The week dissected, 14–18 September 2026: 16 additions, 5 removals and 3 amendments across the EU, OFAC, UK and UN lists.

Who the entries concern: 9 persons, 15 companies and other legal entities. The busiest day was Friday 18 September with 19 changes. Most of the movement ran through OFAC SDN List (23 entries). By programme, programme US-CUBA-EO14404 led with 11 entries, ahead of programme US-IRAN, US-IRAN-EO13902 at 5.

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.
