Reason for listing
Per UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) (listed ):
UKSL GHR0080 — Measures: Asset freeze, Director Disqualification Sanction — Myanmar Economic Holdings Limited (MEHL) is a major Myanmar conglomerate, owned by the Myanmar military and its current and former personnel. Min Aung Hlaing, Myanmar’s Commander in Chief, is the Chair of MEHL’s ‘patron group’, along with other senior ranking Tatmadaw officers. In 2017, MEHL directly contributed to a series of fundraising events, which provided financial support for the Tatmadaw personnel engaged in “clearance operations” against the Rohingya. There are reasonable grounds to suspect that part or all of these funds contributed to operations that resulted in serious human rights violations, including mass unlawful killings, torture, systematic rape and other forms of targeted sexual violence by the Tatmadaw committed in Rakhine State in 2017. In view of the circumstances including the close connections between MEHL and senior members of the Tatmadaw, there are reasonable grounds to suspect that MEHL knew or had reasonable cause to suspect that the funds would or may contribute to the serious human rights violations committed. Further or alternatively, MEHL is associated with the Commander in Chief and Deputy Commander in Chief of the Tatmadaw in view of their connections to MEHL including their positions on the patron group.

About these sources
The UK Sanctions List (UKSL), published by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office — since 28 January 2026 the single, current source for all UK sanctions designations (financial, immigration, trade and transport measures), superseding the older OFSI Consolidated List.
What a match means: A match is a current, binding UK sanctions designation — treat as a direct compliance hit and escalate immediately.
The UK's former OFSI Consolidated List of Financial Sanctions Targets, maintained by HM Treasury. OFSI closed this list on 28 January 2026 — current UK sanctions designations now publish only to the FCDO UK Sanctions List (also in this catalog) — and it is retained here as a historical source.
What a match means: A match reflects a UK financial-sanctions designation recorded before the 28 Jan 2026 cutover; check whether the same party also appears on the current UK Sanctions List, and treat either appearance as a genuine UK sanctions hit, not a stale false positive.
The US Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List — the United States' primary sanctions list, naming persons, companies, vessels and aircraft whose property is blocked under US sanctions authorities (IEEPA, TWEA, the Kingpin Act, Global Magnitsky, and program-specific executive orders).
What a match means: A match is a direct US sanctions hit — the named party is designated and, absent a license, US persons are generally barred from dealing with them; escalate immediately rather than clearing the alert yourself.
