Mohammed bin Salman
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to the CIA's assessment that Mohammad bin Salman ordered the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of including Mohammed bin Salman in the next round of Magnitsky sanctions designations.
- Answer
-
On 6 July the UK Government established the Global Human Rights ('Magnitsky') sanctions regime by laying regulations in Parliament under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018. It is not appropriate to speculate on who may be designated under the Global Human Rights sanctions regime in the future. To do this could reduce the impact of the designations.
