OFAC also removed the entries for VTB Bank Deutschland and Ost-West Handelsbank -- which are other names for the subsidiary -- from the Specially Designated Nationals List. All three entries are listed with the same address in Frankfurt, Germany.
OFAC didn’t release more information. An agency spokesperson pointed to a Reuters report last year that said the Germany-based VTB Bank subsidiary was undergoing liquidation and was changing its name to OWH SE.
