The week dissected, 28 September – 2 October 2026: 134 additions, 4 removals and 198 amendments across the EU, OFAC, UK and UN lists.
Who the entries concern: 237 persons, 81 companies and other legal entities, 11 vessels, 7 entries of other or unrecorded type. The busiest day was Wednesday 30 September with 121 changes. Most of the movement ran through UK Sanctions List (140 entries). By programme, programme US-ILLICIT-DRUGS-EO14059, US-SDGT led with 46 entries, ahead of ISIL/Da'esh sanctions (UN-SCISIL) at 33.
For screening teams the type split is the work plan: person entries are name-and-date matching; legal-entity entries need ownership unwrapping before a match can be cleared; vessel entries reach into trade-finance and charter files.
