587. Under what circumstances can OFAC give further sanctions relief to GAZ Group or any other entity in which GAZ Group owns, directly or indirectly, a 50 percent or greater interest?

Answer

Consistent with OFAC regulations, parties may be removed by demonstrating a change in the circumstances that led to their designation. In the case of GAZ Group, absent other adverse information and consistent with the facts and circumstances of any petition for delisting, the path for the United States to provide sanctions relief is through divestment and relinquishment of control of GAZ Group by any Specially Designated Nationals, including Oleg Deripaska.
