In a pair of court filings, the DOJ has issued the first ever criminal proceedings for companies blatantly violating international sanctions.

“This is the first-ever criminal resolution involving a company that violated sanctions by facilitating the illicit sale and transport of Iranian oil,” according to the DOJ.
