The Isle of Man Treasury published an update confirming that AEZA GROUP LLC has been added to the UK Sanctions List under the Russia sanctions regime as implemented in the Isle of Man, making it subject to an asset freeze and trust services sanctions. The UK statement of reasons links the designation (UK Sanctions List ref RUS3148) to the provision of “bulletproof hosting services” to the Social Design Agency, with the Secretary of State assessing reasonable grounds to suspect involvement in destabilising Ukraine. Where a person or entity is identified as a match and funds or economic resources are held or otherwise dealt with, assets must be frozen immediately, dealings prohibited unless an exemption or licence applies, and frozen assets and suspected breaches or blocked transactions reported to the Financial Intelligence Unit, including assessments of indirect ownership or control.
