Summary
Law enforcement in New Zealand and Australia just pulled off a major cross-border crackdown targeting suspected sanctions violations under the Russia Sanctions Act of 2022. Raids hit Auckland, Christchurch, and Melbourne after tips from foreign affairs and customs agencies, with search warrants executed in June and a restraining order placed on a Christchurch property. Authorities are investigating alleged illegal exports of prohibited goods — and they’re warning businesses: compliance isn’t optional. No charges yet, but the investigation is active and serious — and if you’re dealing with sanctioned items, they’re coming for you.
