  Designated 2 Mar 2016 · UK Sanctions List (FCDO)

No people recorded against this company. Officer and ownership data comes from national business registers, and the registers this system reads cover a different set of countries from the sanctions lists — so a sanctioned company frequently has none.

No ownership test is on file for this company. The test reads who holds a company's shares from its shareholder register, and it is run each day for companies with a number in Estonia's, Latvia's or Poland's register. For a company anywhere else, no register read here states its shareholders, so the test cannot be run.

No people recorded against this company. Officer data comes from national business registers, and a company outside those jurisdictions will have none here even when its officers are publicly known elsewhere.

No address has been read for this company, so this was never checked — which is not the same as finding nothing.

Each reading is kept with the methodology version that produced it. A later reading is not a correction of an earlier one — it is a different question asked of more sources.

  Primary source ↗

Records from these sources are matched into one company only on a shared identifier, or by a human reviewer — never on name similarity alone. How this works. Not legal or compliance advice: check the originals before acting on anything here.

TRUE

A source states it. Rendered as a fact, with the source attached.

FALSE

A source explicitly denies it. Rare, and never inferred from silence.

UNKNOWN

Checked, nothing found. Rendered as an em dash, never as 0 or "no".

NOT_ASSESSED

Never checked — nothing was read here. Excluded from coverage, and not counted as clean.

5 records on this company — identifiers, aliases, officers, listings, figures — each carry the source that wrote them and are shown beside their own entries. The fields above are different: the entities table has no source column, so what is shown is every source whose stored payload contains the value verbatim. That is strong evidence, not proof of which write landed it, and where nothing contains the value the row says so instead of naming a plausible source.
