The Central Bank has told lenders in the UAE to look for accounts, investments and funds linked to individuals with ties to the Syrian government led by Bashar Al Assad as Arabian Gulf states step up action against the country.
On Thursday, the Central Bank sent a circular instructing lenders to submit all findings within three days, bankers said.
The move follows the imposition of economic sanctions by the Arab League against Syria in November, the first time it had called for sanctions against an Arab state. These included travel bans and asset freezes.
