U.S. fines Gracetown Inc. $7.1M for managing Russian oligarch’s property despite sanctions.
The U.S. Treasury Department fined Gracetown Inc., a New York property management firm, $7.1 million for violating sanctions by managing luxury real estate on behalf of Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, linked to President Vladimir Putin.
The firm received 24 payments totaling $31,250 between 2018 and 2020 from a company owned by Deripaska, despite being notified that such transactions were prohibited.
Deripaska has been under U.S. sanctions since 2018, with all U.S. assets blocked.
The case ties Gracetown to U.K. businessman Graham Bonham-Carter, arrested in 2022 on related charges.
The Treasury emphasized strict compliance with sanctions and warned of continued enforcement.
