The Guernsey Financial Services Commission has notified firms that the identifying details for Hamidah NABAGALA, designated under the ISIL (Da'esh) and Al-Qaida (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, have been amended. In Guernsey, where the UK regime is implemented through local sanctions regulations, the individual remains subject to an asset freeze, arms embargo and travel ban and remains on the UK sanctions list. All businesses must check whether they hold accounts or other relationships with the individual or any other designated person and must freeze any relevant funds, assets or economic resources immediately if this has not already been done. They must also refrain from making funds or economic resources available, directly or indirectly, except where a permitted derogation applies or a licence has been issued by the Policy & Resources Committee. Where an affected relationship is identified, firms must report it immediately to the Policy & Resources Committee under the Sanctions Law and then report to the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable, with Handbook Rule 12.37 requiring at least the relevant name, the nature of the relationship or transaction, and the transaction or asset value.
