The Treasury has released details of changes to the Island’s sanctions regime against people connected to former Liberian president Charles Taylor.
Taylor, who resigned as president in 2003, was jailed for 50 years in April for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Twelve individuals have been removed from a UN watchlist – and the Treasury says their funds and resources can now be unfrozen.
They include Taylors wife and ex-wife.
