Oil companies will be held responsible if they import Russian diesel, said Democrat Jamie Raskin, a member of the US House of Representatives. "Whoever chooses to behave in this manner does so at his own risk and will without a doubt be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, whether in this administration or the next," the lawmaker said in a letter obtained by Politico. Raskin clarified that anyone who imports Russian diesel fuel into the US "will violate federal law and may therefore face both civil and criminal penalties, including up to 20 years in prison."
