EU Told It Infringed Rights of Blacklisted Saudi
[Reuters/Asharq Alawsat-UK] The EU infringed the rights of a Saudi businessman by following a UN order to put him on a terror blacklist, an EU adviser said on Wednesday in a new legal setback for the European sanctions regime. EU Advocate General Poiares Maduro advised the bloc to annul a regulation freezing the funds of Yassin Kadi, 52, who had been included on a UN list of individuals suspected of supporting Osama bin Laden directly after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
