Applied Materials Faces US Government Investigation Over SMIC Export Restrictions As Reuters reports, Applied Materials (AMAT.O) is being investigated by the US government for potentially evading export restrictions on SMIC, the country's top semiconductor manufacturer. The full article is here: https://www.reuters.com/technology/applied-materials-under-us-criminal-probe-shipments-chinas-smic-sources-2023-11-16/ The report claims that the Justice Department is investigating the largest semiconductor equipment maker in the United States for sending equipment to SMIC via South Korea without an export licence. A individual said that the equipment in question had a value in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Details of the probe are being made public by Reuters for the first time. The United States has banned the export of state-of-the-art semiconductors and chip manufacturing equipment to China due to national security concerns. A task force was formed earlier this year by the Ministries of Justice and Commerce to investigate and punish export control breaches. The purpose of the laws is to halt the transfer of American technology that may be used to enhance China's military and intelligence capabilities. Charges from the investigation are unknown, and Reuters was unable to find out whether Applied Materials violated any law The people claimed that the company produced semiconductor equipment in Massachusetts and often moved it from its Gloucester location to an associate in South Korea. The equipment was then sent to Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC) in China, according to persons with knowledge of the inquiry. Two of the people who were involved in the shipments claim that they began in 2021 and 2022 as a result of SMIC being put on the U.S. Commerce Department's "Entity List" in December 2020, which limited the company's export of goods and technology. SMIC was included on the list because of its ties to the Chinese military. SMIC did not respond to a request for comment about the shipments from Applied Materials right away. In 2020, SMIC said that its services and chip production are "solely for civilian and commercial end-users and end-uses," denying any connections to the Chinese military. In an effort to "prevent such key enabling technology from supporting China’s military modernization efforts," licences for machinery that is specifically capable of producing chips at advanced technology nodes are likely to be denied, according to a 2020 Federal Register posting from the Commerce Department that also added SMIC to its trade blacklist. https://www.reuters.com/technology/applied-materials-under-us-criminal-probe-shipments-chinas-smic-sources-2023-11-16/ 4-In-1 Support Services: How to get more support 1.

Uncovering the Movement of Millions: Inside the Investigation into Oligarchs and Cyprus During EU Sanctions And What It Means For Businesses What happened? Newspapers have recently published an investigation revealing that Russian oligarchs transferred hundreds of millions of dollars in assets from Cyprus while the European Union and other countries were imposing sanctions following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Wealthy Russians have been using Cyprus as a way to move their wealth from their country into Europe for a long time. As an offshore financial center, Cyprus, which is an EU member, has played a major role in this regard. It's important to note that holding assets in offshore havens like Cyprus, often through trusts, is legal and acceptable for some people for valid reasons. What are the "Cyprus Confidential" files in the context of EU Sanctions? The Cyprus Confidential files comprise a collection of leaked documents that consist of emails, bank records, corporation filings, trust paperwork, and compliance reports. The documents, which amount to 1.31 terabytes of private financial information, include over 3.6 million records and other documents. These records are sourced from six offshore service providers that specialize in creating, managing, and listing shell companies and trusts in Cyprus. Additionally, one of the companies provides access to information on Cypriot firms. Paper Trail Media, the ICIJ, and the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project made the documents available to the Guardian and other media outlets. What source for the Cyprus Confidential Files? In 2018, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), in collaboration with German media, obtained a trove of 3.6 million files from an anonymous source identified as "Cyprus Confidential". The files contained sensitive information about the offshore financial dealings of various individuals and organizations. The ICIJ and German media shared the files with a network of over 90 journalists from 30 countries to analyze and report on their findings. The resulting publication, known as the Cyprus Papers, shed light on the extent of tax avoidance and financial secrecy in the global financial system. What are the key findings of the "Cyprus Confidential" files and how are they undermining EU sanctions? The majority of the files were created in the mid-1990s and between 2022 and 2022. The papers expose the nearly 800 companies and trusts identified in tax and secrecy havens that were owned or controlled by Russians who have been under sanctions since 2014—the year Russia took Crimea. There are over 650 Cyprus businesses and trusts among them. The files detailed the role played by top accountants, and other advisors in managing transactions as Vladimir Putin's forces launched their assault. The files shed light on potential regulatory breaches pertaining to the funding of football clubs and how opaque offshore structures operated by the corporate service providers and accountants of the EU member state might have allowed unreported payments to a well-known western journalist. Can you provide concrete examples of how the "Cyprus Confidential" files illustrate how easily money can be moved into the EU? From reading the sources cited below, we have learned that Alexei Mordashov, one of Russia's wealthiest billionaires, attempted to transfer a hefty sum of £1 billion into a publicly listed company on the same day he was hit with EU sanctions. Mordashov, along with PwC Cyprus and other advisers, made the transfer, which is now the subject of an "ongoing" criminal investigation in Cyprus. In a separate development, a prominent German author, who is an expert on Russia, received €600,000 in undisclosed payments from companies linked to Mordashov to publish two books promoting Putin. During Roman Abramovich's tenure at Chelsea football club, he made payments running into tens of millions of dollars to scouts, agents, and club executives in foreign countries. These payments could have flouted the club's strict accounting and financial fair play policies. Additionally, there are unknown contracts that grant Abramovich and super-agent Pinhas Zahavi control over the careers of twenty-one young football players through questionable third-party ownership systems similar to bonded servitude. Following inquiries into this matter, the Cyprus Finance Ministry confirmed that it has launched a criminal investigation into the transfer of Mordashov's stake in Tui, Europe's largest tour operator. Mordashov's name was added to the EU's list of sanctioned individuals on February 28, 2022, and it is believed that his advisers attempted to transfer his £1 billion stake to his long-term partner, Marina Mordashova, on that day. What was the impact of the "Cyprus Confidential" files? The leak has raised concerns over the role of the EU state in managing Russian fortunes. It is the largest-ever financial data leak from Cyprus raises concerns about the supervision of Russian riches by EU member states. What connection between Cyprus and Russia? The degree to which Cyprus served as a gateway to Europe for the elite with connections to the Kremlin is shown by the leak. We understand that two-thirds of the 104 Russian billionaires named by Forbes magazine in 2023 have family members who are clients of the island's professional service providers. Data shows that 71 Russian consumers have been the target of sanctions since February 2022. Many of these links have since ceased, according to advisors. Is this new? Didn't anybody know about this? In May 2023, the US government provided Cyprus with an 800-page document containing information about individuals and entities in Cyprus that may have helped Russians conceal their assets. The purpose of this document was to assist in the prosecution of those who enabled the Russians to do so and who are subject to US sanctions. What steps can businesses take to avoid becoming involved in schemes to avoid sanctions? Avoiding involvement in schemes to avoid sanctions is crucial for individuals and organizations alike. These schemes not only undermine international efforts to promote peace and stability but also have severe legal and financial consequences. Being associated with such activities can tarnish one's reputation, damage business relationships, and even result in criminal charges. Therefore, it is essential to stay vigilant and ensure compliance with sanctions laws to maintain integrity and mitigate potential risks. Introduce the steps businesses can take to prevent such involvement Businesses can take several steps to prevent involvement in illicit activities and ensure compliance with sanctions laws. Firstly, they should establish a robust due diligence process to carefully screen potential partners, customers, and suppliers. Conducting thorough background checks and monitoring transactions regularly can help identify any suspicious activities. One easy way to achieve this is to sign up to the trade intelligence updates of Customs Manager Ltd to keep you abreast of what is changing in the world of export controls and sanctions, including money laundering. Secondly, businesses should invest in employee training programs to educate their staff on the risks and consequences of non-compliance. This will help create a culture of compliance and empower employees to recognize and report any potential violations. We train on export controls and sanctions. Please visit www.customsmanager.org/events. Additionally, implementing strong internal controls, such as regular audits and risk assessments, can help detect and prevent any inadvertent involvement in sanctioned activities. We can help with all of this.

What is the magazine "The Export Controls & Sanctions Manager" all about? We explain Export control legislation regulates the export of goods, software, and technology. Certain items could potentially be useful for purposes that are contrary to the exporting country's interest. These items are considered controlled, and their export is regulated to restrict their harmful use. Many governments implement export controls that classify the controlled items and their destinations, requiring exporters to apply for a license from the local government department. Different jurisdictions subject a wide range of goods to export control, including arms, goods with military potential, cryptography, currency, precious stones or metals, and more. Some countries prohibit the export of uranium, endangered animals, cultural artefacts, and goods in short supply. Sanctions are commercial and financial penalties that states or institutions apply against states, groups, or individuals. Economic sanctions disrupt economic exchange to attempt to change an actor's behaviour or stop them from certain actions. Sanctions can target an entire country or individuals or groups, which may be referred to as "smart sanctions." Examples of economic sanctions include trade barriers, asset freezes, travel bans, arms embargoes, and financial transaction restrictions. Export controls and sanctions are important topics for many readers, which is why we created a separate magazine for them. Every Tuesday morning at 6 am, you will receive an email notification with all the news, changes in guidance, laws, and other information related to export controls and sanctions. Our team updates this magazine every week, ensuring thorough coverage of the topic. We value your feedback, so please don't hesitate to send us your comments via email.
