The news website g4media in Romania has made a Freedom of Information request to Romania's ANAF enforcement agency.
It has published an article summarising the results, and also provided the original response.
The response identifies the following enforcement statistics:
- 23 companies fined for sanctions breaches to date (between 2020 and 2024);
- 560,000 lei in fines (c. €112,000);
- 41,492,169 lei confiscated as the proceeds of crime (c. €8,330,000);
- 11 of the fined companies have appealed the fines imposed:
- 4 of those appeals were won by ANAF;
- the ANAF lost one;
- 6 of the appeals are pending, although ANAF won 4 of those at first instance;
- As part of this enforcement ANAF also undertook 7 audits of companies which were doing business with sanctioned entities and imposed fines of 65,575 lei (c. €13,100).
As per our earlier post, as of November 2022, Romania was reported to have imposed fines of 280,000 lei and confiscated 13,171,000 lei (c. €2,650,000). The balance of these further fines have been imposed since that date.
