Financial sanctions imposed on Libya, Zimbabwe, Al-Qaida and the Taliban

The UK Government has announced financial sanctions against the regimes in Libya and Zimbabwe and against anyone associated with either Al-Qaida or the Taliban.

If your business is registered with HM Revenue & Customs under Money Laundering Regulations you will need to review your anti-money laundering policies and procedures as a result of these developments. You will need to check your risk assessment and take any steps necessary to ensure you continue to meet your legal and regulatory anti-money laundering and reporting obligations.
