What you must do
If you suspect a person or entity is a match to a person or entity included in the UK Sanctions List, and you hold or otherwise deal with funds or economic resources of that person:
- You must freeze the assets immediately
- You must review the information you hold for that person against the UK Sanctions List to ensure you do not have a false positive identification
- Do not deal with those assets or make them available to, or for the benefit of the designated person unless:
- You have a legal exemption
- You have a licence
- You must report the frozen assets to the FIU
If you have a suspicion or knowledge that there has been a breach of sanctions law, or any attempted transactions that you have blocked, report your suspicions to the FIU.
Failure to comply with financial and trade sanctions legislation or to attempting to circumvent its provisions is a criminal offence.
Where a relevant institution has already reported details of accounts, other funds or economic resources held frozen for the designated person, you are not required to report these details again.
Note: determining if a customer is on the UK Sanctions List includes whether any corporate entity is owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by a person on the UK Sanctions List.
