U.S. Treasury Removes Deceased Iraqi National from Sanctions List

The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has removed 76 individuals and entities from its sanctions list, including Mosul-born Iraqi national Badran Turki Hassan al-Mudayyi. The delisting follows the death of the individual, rendering the previous administrative consolidation of his multiple aliases unnecessary. Al-Mudayyi had previously been designated under 12 different name variations, including the aliases 'Abu Ghadiyah' and 'Abu Abdullah.' The removal is part of a broader, ongoing effort by the U.S. government to update and refine its sanctions database. This administrative action reflects standard OFAC procedures to maintain the accuracy of its restricted parties list. The update ensures that the sanctions regime remains current by accounting for the status of listed individuals.
