Sanctions Notice - Terrorism and Terrorist Financing (Hamas)

HM Treasury has renewed the final designations of four individuals under the Terrorist Asset Freezing etc. Act 2010 (“the Act”) with effect from 23rd February 2015. The individuals, who are linked to the terrorist organisation HAMAS, are:

• Imad, Khalil, AL-ALAM
• Usma HAMDAN

Therefore the above named four individuals are Designated Persons for the purposes of the Act and continue to be subject to the financial sanctions imposed by the Act.

Persons who are the subject of a designation under and within the meaning of the Act are also automatically Designated Persons for the purposes of the Terrorist Asset-Freezing (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2011 with immediate effect, and are subject to the asset freeze and other prohibitions in relation to designated persons in the Guernsey Law.

MEASURES WHICH SHOULD BE TAKEN

All businesses must check whether they maintain any accounts or otherwise hold any funds or economic resources for the individuals named above or any other Designated Person and treat any such accounts, funds or economic resources as frozen with immediate effect if this is not already the case. They must report any findings to the Policy Council immediately. Businesses must also refrain from making any funds or economic resources available directly or indirectly to any designated person unless licensed by the Policy Council.

The information referred to above is required by the Policy Council in the exercise of its powers under section 18 of the Terrorist Asset Freezing Law.
