OFSI takes a proactive enforcement approach and is currently undertaking a number of investigations into suspected breaches of the oil price cap, using powers under SAMLA to request information and working closely with our international partners in the G7+ Coalition.

Due to the sensitivity of ongoing sanctions enforcement casework, I cannot confirm the number of suspected oil price cap violations which are under investigation or have been enforced against by OFSI.
