Recital 15

(15) An example of conduct circumventing Union restrictive measures that is increasingly widespread is the practice by designated persons, entities and bodies of using, transferring to a third party or otherwise disposing of funds or economic resources directly or indirectly owned, held or controlled by those designated persons, entities or bodies in order to conceal those funds or economic resources. Furthermore, the practice of providing false or misleading information, including incomplete relevant information, in order to conceal that a designated person, entity or body is the ultimate owner or beneficiary of funds or economic resources subject to Union restrictive measures also amounts to a circumvention of Union restrictive measures. Therefore, that conduct circumventing Union restrictive measures should constitute a criminal offence under this Directive.
