On October 1, 2026, the U.S. Treasury's FinCEN took action against the A7 Network, a financial services infrastructure aimed at evading sanctions related to Iran and Russia. This network, linked to fugitive Moldovan oligarch Ilan Shor and Promsyyazbank, facilitates money laundering for various illicit actors, including North Korea and Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. FinCEN's proposed rulemaking identifies transactions involving companies controlled by the A7 Network as a primary money laundering concern. If finalized, this rule would prohibit U.S. financial institutions from processing transactions with these entities. Concurrently, OFAC designated the A7 Network as a significant Transnational Criminal Organization, blocking its property and interests in the U.S. The NPRM was published on October 5, 2026, with comments due by November 4, 2026.
