UK SET TO DECLARE IRAN'S ISLAMIC REVOLUTIONARY GUARD CORPS A TERRORIST ORGANISATION; HOW WILL THIS AFFECT THE SECRET ACCOUNTS OF IRGC LEADERS AT HSBC UK?

The Government of the United Kingdom is planning on designating the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) a terrorist organisation. This decision reportedly comes after threats from Iran to the lives of British journalists, activists and government officials.

Such an action will have a direct effect upon what our Iranian sources assert are secret bank accounts, maintained in the UK, by corrupt leaders of the IRGC whose proper name is Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution. Our information is that the accounts are maintained at HSBC UK.

Such accounts containing the proceeds of corruption, are said to be illegal under Iranian Law. Violations of this nature woulds subject the offenders, all high-ranking IRGC officials, to Corruption on Earth charges in Iran, an offense that carries with it a maximum Death Penalty upon conviction.

Personally, I'd like to know, as a compliance officer, how IRGC leaders passed HSBC compliance, and have been allowed to open, and maintain, what are said to be large accounts in the United Kingdom. Given the IRGC Source of Funds is often from criminal activity, including drug trafficking, and are emulated for terrorist financing, what will be the bank's exposure when a terrorist designation is enacted?
