The UAE Central Bank has instructed banks operating in the country to freeze the assets of 19 Libyan individuals and entities in line with the two United Nations Security Council resolutions on Libya, a senior bank official said here on Monday.

We are expecting with the next week or so to complete the report for onward submissAon to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,” said Abdul Rahim Al Awadi, executive director at the UAE central bank’s anti-money laundering and suspicious cases unit.
Al Awadi was speaking on the sidelines of a conference in Abu Dhabi on methods to detect and combat money laundering.
Al Awadi said banks have been instructed to search for and freeze any accounts or investments or deposits or safe deposit boxes in the names of the individuals and entities which appeared in the two UN Security Council resolutions on Libya, one of which has 12 names and the other seven.
The banks have also been told to stop any fund transfers linked to the names mentioned in the two resolutions.
