Expert: Peter Robertson Date: 10/23/2002 Subject: Frozen Assets
Question Hello,
I'm a student who is about to write a term paper on the fight against terrorist financing.
I would like to know if its possible to find a list of organizations and individuals whose assets where frozen over here in the US or anywhere else worldwide, plus what sort of asset and where the asset is located (for example: which bank holds the asset).
I've done some online search, but all i end up with is a long list of of organizations and individuals but nothing about what was frozen, $10 or millions of dollars. This is important to me because i will like to make my assignment as detailed as possible.
Thank you.
Paul Moore.
