You know early 2019 the head of a u. K. Based palestinian lobby group made an announcement outside the royal courts of justice in london i speak on my behalf and as a fan of mine of the best anything said that p. R. C. My bank account ive got lawyers representing marjorie delsea had reached an out of Court Settlement with the company he been battling for several years and the other 15 that pos think of our banking facility c b i was here had claimed that the Palestinian Return center had been wrongly listed on a database and that this had caused them serious financial difficulty about it that we had. And i know that that is them to the committee and by word take on their secret that there is if you do im a misleading allegation and the world check database is now often known as ricin a tive its current oh no. Its not secret its one of the databases used by banks to help them comply with government financial regulation. No your customer is the term they use to identify exactly who theyre dealing with and hence avoid exposure to Financial Crime. A from a bank where your customer is vital part of both the on boarding process at least a few other new customers and maintaining that relationship and it requires you to mean sure that you know who that person is and that is very far and you understand the risk that brings to the bank in terms of Financial Crime money. Databases like christianity of world check look for and collate data for their subscribers on individuals and organizations that might pose a financial risk what they call politically exposed persons. Or perhaps on names on a sanctions list or who have attracted negative media coverage. In this program tamar elmas heart of aljazeera arabic channel examines these databases theyre part of the Global Regulator a framework designed to combat Financial Crime but how transparent are they and what impact can they have on those that appear in them. In terms of the market it is dominated by 2 main players which is dow jones and riff in a tiff which used to be part of the Thomson Reuters organization. In my experience our trouble across both extremely frequently and a great many other providers are actually. The engine of what they provide is the dow jones of the river to do lists so they power lots of other providers as well i think of the definitive as probably the greatest reach in terms of the global banks but honestly that goes pretty dominant player. But individuals and organizations have sometimes found themselves on these databases without their knowledge they can come as a shock to discover theyve been categorized as being linked with for example terrorism. An American Security advisor cool crisp vicary got hold of a copy of the will check database in 2016 including what he called its terrorism blacklist. Tom r l mess hall spoke to bakery and os how he found the list of over 2000000. 00 names. At the world check database looking for whats known as couch d p instances its a type of database that can be accessed through a web browser and it runs on a specific port so if something has Data Available on the couch to eat pork and successful to the public internet you can browse it yet i was just lucky and found it i guess persistence pays off when youre looking for lots and lots of data every once in awhile you find some real gems and i found it downloaded because it was publicly accessible and open and available to the public. Vickerys initial thoughts with well the very 1st big reaction i had was when i was looking through the different rows and i saw people marked as terrorists thats when i knew oh my god this is a list that is probably not something that is normally out there and then i realized if this is a list marking people for things of that nature created this list you know so i had to look and see who created the world trade devil that joins us hes founder also executive chairman of world that shack. Will check was founded in 2000 by a South African born businessman called david left. The company was registered in london and started as a Risk Mitigation database there was a whole host of scandals the late eightys early ninetys that caused by instance go reassessing how they managed risk at the same time there was a 0. Your global drugs. Problem emerging so all of these things conspired that the banks started to look much more closely at risk and there was the formation of the Financial Action task force which is the global body responsible for for providing the definitions of perhaps and for steering banks into how to manage those risks the market for data grew to include agencies and institutions in every sector particularly after the september 11th attacks in new york on the World Trade Center in 2001 remit of those databases widened significantly after 911 polly because it forced the United States particularly to focus much more on funding of terrorism. It was an area that although had previously been legislated for and in the u. S. They probably werent as robust as maybe here in europe where the e. U. The European Union had already instituted some strict rooms the u. S. Often i have been passing through the pantry intact and its specific he caused greater focus on the funding of terrorism as much as Money Laundering and organized crime search changed the landscape definitively. David led pan declined to be interviewed partly because in 2011 will check was acquired by Thomson Reuters as part of their governance risk and compliance unit. Griffin it if well check is still registered to the same address as Thomson Reuters in the canary wharf Business District of london. But in october 28th seen reuters announced the sale of the majority of its world check shares to the private equity group blackstone. In 28. 00 c. Thomson reuters some parts of the state in check so they sold 55 percent of the company to investors but Thomson Reuters still owns 45 percent of finishes which is the new name the company that will check. Thomson reuters is a Canadian Media conglomerate but its made several data related acquisitions. Thomson reuters as a Financial Service agency and it has an interest in making money out of Financial Services well track is a very profitable business subscriptions can run into the millions of pounds there is a lot of money to be made in the sector well check a database of millions of people and organizations around the world who are claimed to be high risk people because of some connection with terrorism or crime or because of their political position and this is a system that banks around the world use to check their customers to find out if they are doing business with somebody who could pose problems for the bank. In an online brochure written it it will check set out its objectives and listed its different areas of activity including sanctions screening monitoring politically exposed persons and he money loan. During countering the financing of terrorism and anti bribery and corruption. It said it covered 240 countries had over 400 Research Analysts and talked about the number of sources used and records. Over the years its grown and grown until today it has 3000000 people and organizations listed and its owned by large companies. And is used by most of the banks around the world for a long time the content of their state space have been kept secret and its only in the last few years thanks to the work of journalists and campaigners that weve begun to learn a little bit more about some of the issues with their state space so for example Finsbury Park mosque had their account closed and they eventually discovered their listing in well check that was still connecting them with terrorism even though the mosque had no more connection with terrorism. Finsbury park mosque is in northeast london and is attended by hundreds of worshipers for friday noon prayers. Today its considered a model of Community Relations but it attracted an adverse media and Police Attention in 1997 when Shaikh Abu Hamza real mastery known for his radical views became him out. Of the mosque was closed in 2003 for its perceived links to terrorism. It reopened in 2005 with a new Management Team supported by the Muslim Association of britain. The changes at the mosque and now widely perceived as a Success Story but in 2014 the management was shocked to discover. But the names were on will checks database as being linked to terrorism. Will check was still under Thomson Reuters ownership at that time. Of the water and the whole. Of the net a comma bijani one which within that the comma behave thought of them as you did. Here to sort out the mess you dont know why. Whether he be a d. I mean or be a know who most often. By the at such a comb my want to check. That and them was a lot. Of buried in bank such as me see 31 of a and he said in monkey its a term of the law and then she had i need that bit of. Is in the bank of one of the 5 theyd miss you want to put it on when he moved with. The 7 hes back to. The mythos oh man im in b. B. C. Ross and b. B. C. What all of a minimal fee have a mobile feel if they dont feel at all often as you call him or us if you that he can walk but. That the and most would. Feel he was successful have done so on some sort of like to. A well check. Peter oborne 1st broke this story for the b. B. C. I got the b. B. C. To make a Radio Programme and i presented this we discovered the existence of a confidante show database it was called world check by Thomson Reuters at the time serious and it had one category called terrorists which is a very serious things were very very serious you cannot deal with people who are going to. And. And so we discovered that the rest of the fence ripoff mosque was listed terrorist. From memory i think mr cause was very shocked as he should be. Laws and we rang up world check we spoke to world show i had a conversation and i said that they said that we always go should correct procedures or Something Like that i cant remember exactly when was this a visit to the. Of the of the board to check quite a fair bit of money. In the future be on the whole. Comedy show at the time sort of has been i thought in a a while it was. This man or woman that had all the had that it was some organizations i was well theyd be on the whole loaf was enough he had the arc of the game as you said after his bubbly a set of iraq a theatre and that what was on him in the hostel and then or for that account of the figure and the whole number not the how the over the if and when if would be having the harder hit than if the who was on the one who had the hustle. Following the Finsbury Park mosque case other organizations and individuals did take legal action against world check. Including margie downs zia head of the Palestinian Return center in london. Decided to pursue a civil action against world check after his own and the centers Bank Accounts were both closed. The p. R. C. Provides a media platform for the palestinian diaspora. In 2015 it was given consultative status at the u. N. As a nongovernmental organization. The center campaigns to increase awareness of the palestinian cause and for the human and legal rights of palestinian refugees. But will check put the center and margery dolls here in the countering terrorism funding category of its database to which mr rouzier took exception. However in january 29th teen zias lawyers reached an out of Court Settlement with world checks then owners Thomson Reuters they agreed to remove his name from the terrorism cant agree to pay him 13000. 00 u. S. Dollars in damages its legal and in fact under the british legal system the judges and the courts prefer people to settle cases so to be honest with you the majority of cases like this we would expect to settle in world checks case so far we actually have settled every single case in other words theres never been a full court case the games will change because all of them they settle like they did with this one of mr my details here they normally agree that the classification was a breach of the Data Protection act they pay some compensation and they offer to pay the legal costs and thats it whenever we have time on those who. Have your whole message. Park mosque or behalf of the the mother toy cars if you know of a word chick. Or than the full breath in can have. Less than all americas and i would have a sufi it also not my step mom. Can i careful of the spit or bark most was a half a devil as most would or twice in the us leave.

For 100 have clearly what you have. You had him i sat dish we had was once the Palestinian Return center was on the list what worship tends to do is that all the directors or the senior people also get listed individually so mr mudge of those years was listed only because of his connection to the palestinian regions and. Misho asked how easy it was to communicate with will check at that time it is possible to have some email communication wi
