The Isle of Man Treasury issued an update reflecting a United Nations Security Council amendment to the ISIL (Daesh) and Al-Qaida sanctions regime as applied in the Isle of Man via the UK Sanctions List. The change amends one individual entry and the person remains designated and subject to an asset freeze. The amended listing relates to Abd El Kader Mahmoud Mohamed El Sayed (QDi.065), an Egyptian national born 26 December 1962, also known as Es Sayed, Kader and Abdel Khader Mahmoud Mohamed el Sayed, with Italian Fiscal Code SSYBLK62T26Z336L. The update removes the previously stated location of his reported death, leaving the entry as “Reportedly killed in 2012”. The notice reiterates that if an institution suspects a match and holds or deals with the person’s funds or economic resources, it must freeze assets immediately, avoid dealing with or making assets available without an exemption or licence, and report frozen assets and suspected breaches or blocked transactions to the Financial Intelligence Unit, including where an entity is owned or controlled by a designated person.
