John Desmond Hanafin, a 51-year-old originally from Raheny in north Dublin, was penalised by the US Treasury over alleged company involvement in helping Russians move assets into the United Arab Emirates to avoid sanctions after the invasion of Ukraine. Hanafin is based in Dubai and has repositioned himself as a consultant serving very wealthy clients. He now assists the super-rich in investing in so-called "rare assets." The sanctions stem from alleged business dealings with Russia that enabled asset relocation to circumvent international restrictions.
