Financial company American Honda Finance Corporation (AHFC) has agreed to pay the government $ 87,255 to settle a civil case for its alleged violation of the economic embargo on Cuba, the Treasury Department said.
The company, which is dedicated to financing Honda vehicles and is based in California, was accused by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the Treasury Department (OFAC) of having committed thirteen violations of the embargo to Cuba.

The “alleged violations” of the embargo respond to thirteen vehicle leasing contracts signed by a Honda dealer in Ottawa, with the Cuban Embassy in the United States between February 2011 and March 2014.
The contracts were financed by Honda Canada Finance, a subsidiary of AHFC, according to the Treasury, which considered the possible violation of the embargo as “not serious.”
