The US Treasury placed a Russian-born South African man on its sanctions blacklist Monday for allegedly helping North Korea avoid an international embargo on its energy purchases.
The Treasury said Vladlen Amtchentsev worked with Velmur Management Pte and Transatlantic Partners Pte to buy fuel oil and gasoil to ship to North Korea even though that was forbidden by US sanctions.
The companies, which are also accused of laundering millions of dollars for Pyongyang, have already been placed on the US sanctions blacklist.
The sanctions forbid Americans or American businesses from doing business with those named.
