Saviez-vous qu’en ne respectant pas les sanctions canadiennes, vous commettez une infraction criminelle ? En effet, selon la disposition enfreinte, une violation des sanctions peut être passible d’une amende pouvant atteindre 100 000 $, d’une peine d’emprisonnement maximale de dix ans, d’un gel d’actifs ou d’autres mesures financières.

In fact, depending on the act violated, breaking sanctions can result in up to a $100,000 fine, up to 10 years imprisonment, asset freezes, or other financial penalties.
