UN Security Council opposes defrosting Gaddafi's bank accounts
The special committee responsible for the proper implementation of sanctions against Libya in the UN Security Council accuses Belgium of violating the sanctions regime. The claims to this European country are that it unlawfully thawed the accounts of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, which were frozen by a United Nations decision.
This was reported on February 28 by the newspaper Soir.
According to the decision of the Committee for the Control of Sanctions against Libya, the unfreezing of accounts for the payment of interest on a deposit is grossly contrary to the sanctions regime. Although this violation was reported on December 17 last year, the Belgian authorities ignored this message. Charles Michel, the interim prime minister of Belgium, did not answer the question of reporters if he knew about the assessment by the UN Security Council of the actions of Brussels.
Vif magazine reported that 16,1 billion euros of Libyan money were posted on the accounts of the Belgian bank Euroclear. Of these, 1,9 billion are stored in cash. It is assumed that the amount of interest payments that were made in favor of the Libyan authorities from the frozen account ranged from 2,5 to 4 billion euros.
