U.S. Sanctions Russian Bank for Handling Transactions for North Korea

 

August 3, 2018

 

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) today announced additional sanctions related to North Korea, continuing the enforcement of existing UN and U.S. sanctions. Today’s action targets a Russian bank for knowingly facilitating a significant transaction on behalf of an individual designated for weapons of mass destruction-related activities in connection with North Korea. OFAC also targeted one individual and two entities for facilitating North Korean illicit financial activity. This action reinforces the United States’ ongoing commitments to upholding the decisions of the UN Security Council (UNSC).

 

“The United States will continue to enforce UN and U.S. sanctions and shut down illicit revenue streams to North Korea. Our sanctions will remain in place until we have achieved the final, fully-verified denuclearization of North Korea,” said Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.

So far I'm coming up empty on digs on the individuals and entities sanctioned:

 

Agrosoyuz Commercial Bank (Agrosoyuz)

Ri Jong Won, the Moscow-based deputy representative of FTB

 

conducting or facilitating a significant transaction on behalf of Han Jang Su, the Moscow-based chief representative of Foreign Trade Bank (FTB)

 

Dandong Zhongsheng Industry & Trade Co., Ltd. (Zhongsheng), pursuant to E.O. 13382 (Additional Designation of North Korean Entities Pursuant to E.O. 13382 by the State Department on 10/31/2017)

 

Korea Ungum Corporation (Ungum), pursuant to E.O. 13722 (Blocking Property of the Government of North Korea and the Workers' Party of Korea, and Prohibiting Certain Transactions With Respect to North Korea 3/18/16)

I guess one of my first Q's

 

Why is one entity sanctioned under EO 13382 TRUMP (Additional Designation of North Korean Entities Pursuant to E.O. 13382 by the State Department on 10/31/2017)

 

and the other entity under EO 13722 OBAMA (Blocking Property of the Government of North Korea and the Workers' Party of Korea, and Prohibiting Certain Transactions With Respect to North Korea 3/18/16)

 

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO EO'S?
