This video continues our series Sanctions 360°. We look today into the concept of “control” as the second criterion (supplementing the concept of ownership) to set the scope of the persons/assets which fall within the reach of the economic sanctions. The concept of control may be easy to formulate but difficult to apply to specific facts. It is not a surprise then that often even the courts and the regulators struggle to agree whether certain assets/companies are controlled or not by blocked individuals. Without attempting to give a comprehensive answer to this question, we trust that this video will be a useful starting point in your analysis. Thank you for watching!
