US Treasury Sanctions Ekaterina Zhdanova for Role in Russian Money-Laundering Network
Ekaterina Zhdanova has been hit with sanctions by the US Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control for her role in a money-laundering network serving Russian elites. The Treasury's Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence emphasized their commitment to defending against the misuse of technology in finance. Zhdanova is accused of masking the wealth of Russian clients and funnelling over $2.3 million into Western Europe through investment accounts and real estate dealings. Her tactics were multilayered, including the use of virtual currency transfers and a "tax residency service" in the United Arab Emirates. The Treasury's sanctions highlight the government's proactive stance against those exploiting virtual currencies.
