Sanctions and debarments94

Sanctioned by 4 authorities: Switzerland SECO, UN Security Council, Australia DFAT, UK OFSI. Includes a UN Security Council listing, which binds every member state. Confirmed present in a source snapshot within the last 90 days.

Jurisdiction70

Afghanistan is named on a jurisdiction designation list — European Commission, EU list of high-risk third countries (AMLD Art. 9), section I: “High-risk third countries which have provided a written high-level political commitment to address the identified deficiencies and have developed an action plan with FATF.” The designation is of the jurisdiction, not of this record.

Not scored

Company associations

Not scored. No company role is recorded for this person, which is an absence of records rather than a finding.

Evidence coverage

Not scored. The evidence ledger records which sources were read for a COMPANY; it holds no per-person rows, so there is no coverage figure to price in here. The sources behind this record are listed under Evidence.

Adverse media

Not scored. Media coverage is not linked to individuals in this system at all, only to companies, and even there it covers a small fraction of the records.

Band drawn from the components that could be measured, methodology v5. The unscored ones above are gaps in what was read, not findings of nothing. Not a compliance determination — check the underlying listings before acting on anything here.
