Financial Sanctions: Terrorist Financing
28 February 2007
This news release is issued in respect of the financial measures taken against terrorism.
The Bank of England, as agent for Her Majesty's Treasury, has today issued a Notice to publicise generally a direction given by Her Majesty's Treasury that the individuals named below are "designated persons" for the purposes of the Terrorism (United Nations Measures) Order 2006. This means that:
- any funds (meaning financial assets and benefits of every kind) or economic resources belonging to, owned or held by the individuals must be frozen; and
- no funds, economic resources or financial services are to be made available, directly or indirectly, to the individuals;
except under the authority of a licence.
The individuals listed below were originally designated in a direction given by Her Majesty's Treasury on 11 August 2006 under the Terrorism (United Nations Measures) Order 2001 (SI 2001/3365). This subsequent direction designates the individuals under the Terrorism (United Nations Measures) Order 2006 (SI 2006/2657) and therefore, in particular, the prohibitions and extended definitions of "funds", "economic resources" and "financial services" set out in that Order will now apply. The subsequent direction contains additional identifying information in relation to five of the individuals.
