The government of the UK has adopted new sanctions program designed to more closely resemble that of the US, rather than the EU, which UK left recently.
The new regulations are designed to target individuals involved in serious corruption and prevent them from entering the UK or using the UK financial system. To date, 22 individuals have been designated.
