The Platform Tracking Organized Crime and Money Laundering in Yemen (P.T.O.C) welcomes the US Treasury's designation of prominent Houthi leaders, exchange companies, major smuggling agents, arms dealers, and shipping and money brokers who have enabled the Houthis to acquire and transfer a range of dual-use and weapons components, as well as generate Revenues to support their destabilizing regional activities.

The platform also welcomes the inclusion of the following Houthi leaders and exchange companies:

• Hashim Ismail Ali Ahmed Al-Madani, governor of the pro-Houthi Central Bank in Sanaa
• Ahmed Mohammed Mohammed Hassan Al-Hadi, a senior Houthi financial official who coordinates and facilitates the movement of Houthi funds
• Mohamed Ali Al Thawr Exchange Company
• Khaled Al-Hazmi and his sister company (Al-Hazmi Exchange)
• Davos Exchange and Money Transfer Company
• Wael Muhammad Saeed Abdul-Wadud, who resides in Yemen: He is a Houthi logistical official who participated in facilitating Houthi smuggling operations
• Omar Ahmed Omar Ahmed Al-Hajj: He is a Houthi logistical official who, along with Abdul-Wadud, facilitated Houthi smuggling activities through Somalia.
• Yemen-based Safwan Dubi Shipping and Trading Company: used by Houthi procurement officials to import dual-use materials and other weapons components into Yemen
• In addition to Saeed El Gamal’s extensive companies and networks.

The P.T.O.C platform has previously published reports documented with evidence and documents revealing the financing of the Houthis by various exchange companies. These reports included many of the names of companies and entities financing the Houthi terrorist group.

The platform appreciates this important step within the framework of international efforts aimed at combating organized crime and money laundering, which directly contribute to prolonging the war and increasing the suffering of the Yemeni people.

The platform also calls on the international community to take additional steps, including imposing strict sanctions on more leaders of the Houthi group involved in organized crimes and money laundering, which contribute to financing the war and fueling the conflict in the country.

These sanctions represent an important step towards enhancing security and stability in Yemen, and achieving justice for the victims of the war and criminal practices led by the Houthi group.

The platform affirms its full commitment to continuing its efforts to detect and track everyone who contributes to the continuation of the conflict and criminal acts that harm the Yemeni people and obstruct the path of peace.
