Experts welcome new regime but call on UK government to strengthen domestic anti-corruption measures
Fourteen Russian nationals accused of conspiring in a $230m (£166m) grand corruption scheme are among those hit with asset freezes and travel bans under the first sanctions to be imposed by the UK since it left the EU.
In a statement to parliament on Monday, the foreign secretary announced the names of 22 individuals to be sanctioned under the Global Anti-Corruption Sanctions Regulations 2021.
