§01Deal-room dashboard
p. 01 / 09Deal #2024-DEU-047 — a €45M acquisition, mid due diligence. Financial and legal are done. Compliance is where deals die.
Compliance screen in progress
§02Compliance — Layer 1 sanctions
p. 02 / 09The surface check clears. The entity name is on no active list. That is the easy part — and the part that lulls buyers into signing.
6 of 6 lists clear · no direct sanctions matches on entity name
Note: surface-level check only · ownership layer analysis pending
§03Ownership — Layer 2 tracing
p. 03 / 09Corporate layers exist to obscure control. Four jurisdictions later, the person behind the target comes into view.

UBO — PEP + connected to sanctioned entity
PEP designation + indirect link to OFAC-designated entity
Ownership graph — interactive view
Key finding
The beneficial owner, V. Sorokin, is identified as a Politically Exposed Person (PEP) and has an indirect connection to an entity designated under OFAC SDN. This finding does not appear in the surface-level entity check.
§04PEP alert & enforcement precedent
p. 04 / 09A politically exposed beneficial owner, indirectly linked to a sanctioned counterparty — the exact fact pattern behind the largest M&A compliance penalties on record.
PEP connection identified in ownership chain — V. Sorokin, Layer 4, BVI entity. Indirect exposure to OFAC SDN designated counterparty.
Risk classification: Enhanced Due Diligence required before transaction proceeds.

§06Deal recommendation
p. 06 / 09Not a verdict machine — a recommendation for the human who signs. Proceed, but only with enhanced due diligence and the conditions below resolved.
Transaction must not proceed without resolving the following conditions.

Conduct enhanced background on the BVI holding entity Eastern Capital
Verify the nature of the connection to the OFAC-designated counterparty
