Friday, 11 December 2020

This news release is issued to publicise the addition of 11 new entries in the Global Human Sanctions regime.

Details of the additions can be found in the attached Annex.

Financial institutions and other persons are requested to check whether they maintain any accounts or otherwise hold funds or economic resources for, or provide financial services to, the designated individuals and entity.  If so, they must freeze such accounts or other funds and, unless licensed by the Treasury, refrain from dealing with said funds or economic resources, and suspend the provision of any financial services.  They must also report their findings to the FIU

Failure to comply with financial sanctions legislation or to seek to circumvent its provisions is a criminal offence.
