No company role is recorded for this person. Roles come from national business registers, and a sanctioned individual will usually have none here — the registers this system reads cover a different set of countries from the sanctions lists.
Sanctioned by 4 authorities: UN Security Council, Switzerland SECO, EU, UK OFSI. Includes a UN Security Council listing, which binds every member state. Confirmed present in a source snapshot within the last 90 days.
Yemen 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
Not scored. No company role is recorded for this person, which is an absence of records rather than a finding.
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.
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.

Document numbers are how two authorities' records are matched into one person. Where an authority does not state the issuing country, a match against the same number under a known issuer is queued for a human rather than merged automatically.
Transliterations and name orders differ between authorities. They are kept as published rather than normalised into one spelling, because the spelling is part of what each source actually said.
Records are matched into one person only on a shared identity document, 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.
