Classified By: Econ Officer Nicholas Berliner for reasons 1.4 b/d.
1. (C) Croatia's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) froze an
account of two 1267 designated individuals on May 2, 2006.
The account owner was Wael Hamza Julaidan and the co-signer
Chafiq Ayadi. According to information shared by the FIU,
this account was opened in 1992 and was used through the end
of 1993. There have been no transactions on the account
since that time, other than interest accrual and account
fees. The FIU picked up the account on Ayadi's name as the
co-signer. The spelling provided for Julaidan was a slightly
different variant, Wael Hamzah A. Jelaidan.
2. (C) Comment: The FIU in Croatia relies on its cooperation
with the commercial banks. Our contacts characterized this as
an old account that was missed in previous vetting and were
quick to point out that it contained a small sum and had not
been active even at the time of the designation of its
holders. Nevertheless, this points up the difficulties the
FIU faces. Its small staff contains very few people with the
specialized knowledge required for the work it does. This
situation is exacerbated by a high attrition rate, as
government salaries in Croatia are simply not competitive
with the private sector, particularly in finance. End Comment.
