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.

SUBJECT: TERRORISM FINANCE: YASIN AL-QADI - STATUS OF ASSET
FREEZE IN TURKEY
REF: A. STATE 161602
B. ANKARA 2034
1. (SBU) Accoring to Turkish Foreign Ministry officials, a
freeze on $3 million in al-Qadi assets found in Turkish bank
accounts remains in place, although al-Qadi continues his
legal challenge in Turkish courts of the Council of
Ministers' freeze order (see ref b). The Turkish Court that
reviews administrative decisions, the Danistay (Council of
State), has refused al-Qadi's request for an injunction
voiding the Council of Ministers' decision. Therefore, the
Danistay will decide the case on its "merits." The timeframe
depends on the Danistay and is not clear. The MFA has
informed the UN 1267 committee of the status of the case and
continues to request more information from the UN and the
United States to bolster its case against al-Qadi.
