Dutch fiscal crime authority FIOD on Tuesday said it had arrested three people suspected of circumventing sanctions on Russia related to the war in Ukraine.

The authority arested two men of 56 and 57 years from Diemen and The Hague respectively, and a 54-year-old woman from The Hague on suspicion of circumventing and violating sanctions against Russia by being part of an international smuggling network.

Dutch authorities said the operation was part of an international action with searches and questioning also happening in Germany, Latvia, Lithuania and Canada.
