Jersey sanctions [SAFL] changed - check now

08/06/2022

Jersey's Minister for External Relations has signed an order bringing the Sanctions and Asset-Freezing (Amendment No. 2) (Jersey) Law 2022 into force with effect from tomorrow (Wednesday 8 June 2022). 

This amendment makes a number of technical changes to the Sanctions and Asset-Freezing (Jersey) Law 2019, so anyone in compliance / sanctions / financial crime in Jersey needs to take a careful look. 

Also note that the consolidated version of the Law has not yet been published so you will need to manually compare the Law and Amendment side-by-side.
