Dawood Ibrahim on UK asset freeze list with four Pakistani addresses

The underworld has been featured in an updated list of financial sanctions by the British government

The Indian underworld don Dawood Ibrahim has been featured in an updated list of financial sanctions by the British government, which records four Pakistani addresses used by him in the past.

According to the UK Treasury Department’s ‘Consolidated List of Financial Sanctions Targets in the UK’, the Indian national used four addresses in Pakistan – all based in Karachi.

However, the addresses appear incomplete: House No 37, Street 30, Defence Housing Authority, Karachi; House No 29, Margalla Road, F 6/2 Street No 22, Karachi; Nooriabad (Palatial bungalow in the hilly area), Karachi; and White House, Near Saudi Mosque, Clifton, Karachi.



Dawood's presence in Pakistan has been repeatedly denied by the authorities.

Financial sanctions imposed by the UK government could apply to individuals, entities and governments who may be residing in UK or abroad.



It is deemed a criminal offence to breach financial sanctions, without an appropriate licence or authorisation from UK Treasury Department.

The list updated on January 2016 also includes organisations such as Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), Khalistan Zindabad Force, International Sikh Youth Federation, and Hizbul Mujahideen.
