"This Warning": The United States has imposed sanctions against law enforcement agencies

The information about this appeared on the official website of the profile ministry on Thursday, April 27. In addition to the Russian structures, four high -ranking officials from the intelligence organization of the Corps of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution (KSIR) of Iran were included in the list of sanctions. It is known that sanctions have been imposed on the misconduct of US citizens abroad.

"Today's action is directed against high -ranking security officials in Iran and Russia, which are responsible for hostage seizure or illegal detention of US citizens abroad," said the US Deputy Minister of Finance in the fight against terrorism and financial intelligence Brian E. Nelson. In addition, one of the representatives of the administration on the rights of anonymity communicated with the Air Force journalists.

"Our actions are a warning to all those in the world who thinks of illegal detentions of US citizens, about the potential consequences of this," the media on the rights of anonymity told the US administration. According to him, sanctions are just public measures to return their citizens illegally detained and arrested in the Russian Federation. In addition, the United States is taking a number of hidden measures for this purpose.

Speaking of Americans who are illegally detained, the administration first refers to the Wall Street Journal journalist Evan Gershkovich, who was detained in Yekaterinburg and accused of espionage. This also applies to the former Marines Paul Wilan, who received 16 years in prison in 2020. The man was accused of espionage. First of all, the property and assets of the FSB, found in the jurisdiction of the United States, are subject to blocking.

In addition, cash and non -cash funds, as well as securities mentioned above, cannot be moved through the global financial system. The department also told that work on new anti -Russian restrictions is ongoing right now. However, what area they will touch, the official did not specify. On Thursday, April 27, it became known that the US Treasury had adjusted exceptions to sanctions, allowing a number of operations with the FSB of the Russian Federation.

This is stated in a general license published on the website of the department. According to this document, US representatives may come in contact with the Russian Office when US companies are needed, including to demand or receive permits from FSB for imports, distribution and use of IT products in Russia. However, there are also necessary conditions. They consist in compliance with the parties of the export control rules established by the US Ministry of Commerce.

In addition, the amount of fees paid to the FSB will not exceed $ 5 thousand a year. We will remind, on April 20 it became known that the United States imposed sanctions against six companies that help Iran. On this day, the US Treasury has published a list that included companies from Iran, Hong Kong, China and Malaysia, which helped the country receive components for drones bypassing US sanctions.
