Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

UNCLAS MADRID 001816 SIPDIS E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: PTER, EFIN, ECON, PREL, ETTC, SP, Counterterrorism SUBJECT: TERRORIST FINANCING: SPAIN'S ABILITY TO FREEZE ASSETS REF: STATE 108957 The GOS has independent administrative authority to freeze assets linked to terrorism under Law 12/2003 on the Prevention and Blocking of the Financing of Terrorism passed in May 2003. However, the regulations to implement this law have not been published, and no assets have been frozen under this law as government officials are reluctant to use the powers absent a regulatory framework. We have been pressing Spanish officials about the regulations which we understand will be presented to the new government this spring. ARGYROS
