根據 2024 年 4 月 24 日簽署成法律的聯邦立法，美國對違反制裁行為的起訴時效已從五年延長至十年。擁有制裁合規計劃的公司現在必須確保其保留十年的交易和合規數據，以應對未來的執法案件。
該法案還授權政府扣押被凍結的俄羅斯國有資產，並用它們來支持烏克蘭，而不會受到司法審查挑戰。該協議禁止釋放俄羅斯在美國金融機構被凍結的主權資產，直到俄羅斯-烏克蘭戰爭結束並且向烏克蘭賠償其造成的損失。
它也要求政府對已受到歐盟或英國制裁但尚未被美國制裁指定的各方實施制裁。

US: Statute of limitations for sanctions violations is doubled to ten years

The US statute of limitations for sanctions violation prosecutions has been extended from five to ten years under federal legislation signed into law on 24 April 2024. Companies with sanctions compliance programmes must now ensure they keep ten years of transactional and compliance data to navigate future enforcement cases. The legislation also authorises the government to seize frozen Russian state-owned assets and use them to support Ukraine without the possibility of judicial review challenges. It prohibits the release of frozen Russian sovereign assets in US financial institutions until the Russia-Ukraine war is over and full compensation has been made to Ukraine for damage resulting from it. It also requires the government to impose sanctions against parties subject to EU or UK sanctions who are not yet designated under US sanctions.
