The Global Anti-Corruption Sanctions Regulations 2021 impose UK sanctions relating to serious corruption.
Context
As set out in the regulations, the global anti-corruption sanctions regime is aimed at preventing and combatting serious corruption (bribery or misappropriation of property).
The regulations impose sanctions on persons designated due to involvement in serious corruption or because they are linked to those involved in serious corruption.
This regime replaces the Misappropriations (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 regime concerning misappropriation of state funds from any country outside the UK.
