Possible matches in other source lists · 1

Records in other sanctions lists with high name overlap that may describe the same person. We have not aggregated these into the record above because date of birth, nationality, or both were not published by one or more sources. Review each below and verify identity against the source record before treating as the same individual.

70% indicative

Why we surfaced this:

✓ Both sources report nationality tunisia
✗ Date of birth not published by at least one source

Identity matching — read this first. Sanctions and PEP records are aggregated from independent publishers, each of which spells names differently and publishes a different subset of identifying attributes (date of birth, nationality, place of birth, official identifiers). We aggregate records as a single individual only when date of birth or a combination of strong attributes confirms identity. Lower-confidence matches are surfaced below as Possible matches with the specific evidence — they are not silently combined. You must independently verify identity against the issuing authority's source record before any sanctions, AML, or compliance determination.

Disclaimer. This page is informational only and does not constitute legal advice or a compliance determination. Common names may match multiple individuals — verify identity (DOB, nationality, place of birth) independently before any business decision. Data sourced directly from publishers including OFAC, UN Security Council, EU, UK OFSI and 46 other national lists.
