The Isle of Man Treasury issued an update under the Counter Terrorism (Domestic) sanctions regime, reflecting changes to the UK Sanctions List as applied in the Isle of Man, adding two entities to the Consolidated List and making them subject to an asset freeze. The new entries are Embers of an Empire (also known as EOAE, UK Sanctions List Ref CTD0008) and Rampage Productions (UK Sanctions List Ref CTD0007), both linked to an address in Waltham Abbey, Essex. The published statements of reasons cite reasonable grounds to suspect involvement through facilitating, promoting and encouraging terrorism via dissemination of music and related material, including making funds available and supporting persons believed to be involved in terrorism. The notice reiterates that if a match is suspected and funds or economic resources are held or dealt with, assets must be frozen immediately, dealings must stop unless a legal exemption or licence applies, and frozen assets and suspected breaches or blocked transactions must be reported to the FIU. It also flags that screening should consider ownership or control, and that sanctions non-compliance or circumvention is a criminal offence.
