1. (SBU) We delivered reftel demarche on July 8 to Finance
Ministry Financial Analytical Unit (FAU) Director Milan Cicer
and on July 9 to MFA UN Department Official David Frous.
Cicer replied that Czech law enforces asset freezes, travel
bans, and embargos against people or entities appearing on
the UNSCR 1267 list, which now includes Arif Qasmani,
Mohammad Yahya Mujahid, and Fazeel-A-Tul Shaykh Abu Mohammed
Ameen al-Peshawari. He explained that Czech law also
obligates financial institutions and other related entities
to report to FAU any transaction whose subject is a
sanctioned individual or entity. Neither Cicer nor Frous
reported any financial information on these persons.
2. (SBU) Cicer reported that the Czech government has no
legal obligation or mechanism for acting on designations of
individuals or entities not designated by the UNSCR 1267 list
or the EU Clearinghouse. Thus, at this time, no actions will
be taken against Nasir Javaid based on the U.S. designation.
Both Cicer and Frous reported no records on Javaid.
