The International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) governs U.S. sanctions violations, allowing the President to block financial transactions with targeted foreign entities.

To qualify under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), cases typically meet the following criteria:

1. Violation of Sanctions or Export Controls: Involves actions prohibited by U.S. sanctions, such as exporting goods, services, or technology to sanctioned countries or entities.
2. Intentional Misconduct: The violation must be willful or demonstrate reckless disregard for U.S. laws.
3. Connection to National Security or Foreign Policy: The case must relate to areas impacting U.S. national security, economic stability, or foreign policy interests.

The Trading with the Enemy Act (TWEA) restricts trade with countries deemed enemies of the U.S. The OFAC Sanctions Programs, administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, enforce these sanctions, monitoring compliance and investigating violations across various sectors, including finance and international trade.

To qualify under the Trading with the Enemy Act (TWEA), the following criteria generally apply:

1. Transactions Involving Enemy Nations: Violations typically involve U.S. persons engaging in trade or transactions with nations or entities designated as enemies, often during wartime or under national emergency conditions.
2. Intentional Violations: The act must be deliberate or in willful disregard of the sanctions imposed by the U.S. government.
3. Economic or Military Impact: The illegal trade should affect U.S. national security or economic interests.

Reporting OFAC Fraud

To report OFAC violations, you can submit a whistleblower case directly to the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). They provide a confidential process for OFAC whistleblowers to report potential sanctions violations. Using whistleblower attorney services to navigate this complex process ensures the protection of your identity and maximizes the chances of a successful claim. A whistleblower law firm can help you gather evidence, submit reports, and protect your rights under whistleblower laws.
