A member of the US House of Representatives, Democrat Jamie Raskin, threatened oil companies with prosecution if they imported Russian diesel. This was stated in his letter to the American Petroleum Institute, the American Chamber of Commerce and the Association of Fuel and Petrochemical Producers. They could face penalties of up to $1 million in fines and up to 20 years in prison. Raskin warned that the administration's sanctions relief cannot lift the congressional ban on Russian energy imports. "Those who choose to take such a step do so at their own risk and will undoubtedly be held accountable to the full extent of the law, whether under this administration or the next," the Democrat said.
