Arab Sea Newspaper - Special

Arab Sea - Special: Private sources told the "Arab Sea" newspaper that donor countries have informed official Yemeni bodies that any official who opposes or obstructs the procedures of the Central Bank of Yemen will be included in the sanctions list, even if he is a member of the government or the Presidential Leadership Council. The sources revealed blacklists that included the names of corrupt individuals in government institutions, in addition to merchants, banks, and networks involved in smuggling funds through banks to shell companies abroad. The sources confirmed that the upcoming investigations may include freezing suspicious funds internally and externally, with officials being held accountable for them. The sources added that secret Western reports revealed the involvement of prominent figures in currency speculation through exchange banks and merchants, pointing to the possibility of including them in the US Treasury's blacklist due to their suspicious financial relationships, including some of them communicating with the Houthi group.
