Dear Sir / Madam,

Lists of names for suspicious account reporting - Government Gazette

I am writing to inform you that the lists specifying terrorists and terrorist associates under the United Nations (Anti-Terrorism Measures) Ordinance and the United Nations Sanctions (Afghanistan) Regulation have been updated to incorporate the new individual names recently designated by the United Nations Security Council Committee. The latest version of these two lists, which are identical, were separately published in the Gazette on 11 July (G.N. 4602) and 18 July (G.N. 4801) and are available on the Government’s website at http://www.info.gov.hk/pd/content/index.htm. A copy of the list in MS Word format is attached to facilitate update of your electronic database.

Compared to the list advised in my letter of 23 May, a total of 18 individuals has been added to the list of individuals associated with the Al-Qaida under the items 2, 10, 26, 29, 30, 47, 50, 53, 55, 64, 65, 67, 76, 83, 84, 85, 87 and 99 of the List C. The information on an individual, Mostafa Kamel Mostafa, has also been updated under item 80 (previously item 18).

You are reminded to check the designated names against your records and report any transactions or relationships you have or have had with the named individuals or entities to the Joint Financial Intelligence Unit and the HKMA.

Yours faithfully,

Y K Choi
Acting Deputy Chief Executive
