Further to our earlier post regarding the UK's Charity Commission investigating Aozma Sultana in relation to possible sanctions breaches, it has now been reported (first by GIR – behind a paywall), that Aozma Sultana has been charged with sanctions offences in the UK and that she appeared in court last week.
Ms Sultana is a designated person under the UK's anti-terrorism sanctions.
The alleged offence is one of refusing or failing to comply with a request from HM Treasury for information as to her assets and finances.
Trial is currently set for June 2025.
