China Strategic Risks Institute retweeted
My new briefing for @CSR_Institute: Of the 14 oil tankers the US seized or sanctioned in the months before Venezuela's Maduro fell, at least 10 had ties to Hong Kong.
One firm, Galaxy (Hong Kong) Business Co., served as corporate secretary to at least four of these sanctioned companies, in several cases signing on after OFAC had already designated them. Galaxy itself remains untouched by any western sanctions, as do its directors. Their staff openly advertise the services on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook.
The same infrastructure keeps Russia, Iran, and North Korea sanctions evasion humming along. Until western sanctions stop chasing the disposable shell companies at the top and start going after the established corporate secretaries, banks, and logistics providers beneath them, the machinery just gets reused by the next smugglers.
