Financial and economic sanctions are binding prohibitions applied by governments to prevent business transactions with certain designated persons - they may be rogue organisations, countries, regimes or specific individuals.
Violations of sanctions issued by the UN, the US and the EU placing restrictions on payments and other financial transactions can result in fines as well as criminal charges.
