The Polish National Revenue Administration has arrested 6 people for attempting to transport a dual-use circuit device to Russia in breach of EU sanctions and export control regulations. Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 833/2014 prohibits the export of dual-use goods to any person or entity in Russia if those items are intended for military use. Poland’s Sanctions Law criminalises breaches of Reg 833. The penalty for breach is imprisonment “for a period of not less than 3 years”.

See our Poland pages for information on the Sanctions Law.
