Case Study - Russia

The Chief Compliance Counsel for a satellite imaging corporation received a tip from a business associate that one of their resellers allegedly had a new silent majority owner who was listed on both US and EU economic sanctions lists. Kreller was requested to conduct a corporate investigation immediately to determine if this was the case.

Kreller did not find a direct connection between the reseller and the new silent partner through corporate registration and shareholding documents. Because the reseller’s direct shareholders were companies, Kreller researched each layer of shareholding until we were able to establish a connection with the new silent partner through a series of shell companies affiliated with the reseller.
