What the list is
Since 28 January 2026 it is the only source of UK sanctions designations. The Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI) Consolidated List of Financial Sanctions Targets closed on that date and is no longer updated; OFSI continues to implement and enforce financial sanctions.
What a listing means
Designations can carry an asset freeze, trust-services sanctions, director disqualification, immigration bans or shipping measures, depending on the regime. UK persons, and anyone in the UK, must not deal with a designated person's funds or economic resources or make them available, and must report knowledge or suspicion of a breach to OFSI where they are a relevant firm.
Historical OFSI entries remain useful for investigations into designations made before the list closed. Crown Intelligence keeps them in a separate source so that current screening is based on the UK Sanctions List.
Largest programmes on the list
Each designation is tagged with the programme or regime it falls under. These are the largest by the number of records Crown Intelligence holds.
