Two things to note here. First, there are designations both under Executive Order 13660 (the original one against former Ukrainian officials) and 13661 (against Russian officials). Second, I note that Roman Rotenberg was designated – his relatives transferred some of their assets, including an arena in Finland, to him to avoid sanctions some months ago.

and updated Narrative Summary:

YEi.003 ALI ABDULLAH SALEH

Date on which the narrative summary became available on the Committee’s website: 7 November 2014.

Date on which the narrative summary was updated: 20 November 2014.

Ali Abdullah Saleh was designated for sanctions on 7 November 2014 pursuant to paragraphs 11 and 15 of resolution 2140 (2014), as meeting the designation criteria set out in paragraphs 17 and 18 of the resolution.

Additional Information

Ali Abdullah Saleh has engaged in acts that threaten the peace, security or stability of Yemen, such as acts that obstruct the implementation of the agreement of 23 November 2011 between the Government of Yemen and those in opposition to it, which provides for a peaceful transition of power in Yemen, and acts that obstruct the political process in Yemen.

Per the 23 November 2011 agreement backed by the Gulf Cooperation Council, Ali Abdullah Saleh stepped down as President of Yemen after more than 30 years.

As of fall 2012, Ali Abdullah Saleh had reportedly become one of the primary supporters of violent Huthi actions in northern Yemen.

Clashes in the south of Yemen in February 2013 were a result of the combined efforts of Saleh, AQAP and southern secessionist Ali Salim al-Bayd to cause trouble before the 18 March 2013 National Dialogue Conference in Yemen

More recently, as of September 2014, Saleh has been destabilizing Yemen by using others to undermine the central Government and create enough instability to threaten a coup. According to a September 2014 report by the United Nations Panel of Experts for Yemen, interlocutors alleged that Saleh supports violent actions of some Yemenis by providing them funds and political support, as well as ensuring that GPC members continue to contribute to the destabilization of Yemen through various means.
