DAWOOD IBRAHIM, INDIA'S MOST WANTED TERRORIST AND OFAC SDGT HAS A DOMINICA CBI PASSPORT

This is DAWOOD IBRAHIM, career criminal and India's Most Wanted Terrorist. He also is a Specially Designated Global Terrorist sanctioned by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, OFAC. Not generally known, but important for compliance purposes, he holds a Citizenship by Investment (CBI) passport issued by the Commonwealth of Dominica, under one of his many aliases, He reportedly has also secured CBI passports from Dominica for many in his criminal organization, known as D-COMPANY.

As new information has surfaced of late, regarding the extent of corruption in Dominica with multiple articles being published, compliance officers charged with assessing Country Risk should consider advising their staff to regard ALL Dominica passports as potentially held by international criminals, for enhanced due diligence purposes at account opening. There are just too many CBI passports out there issued to career criminals, under aliases, to do otherwise. No CBI passport agency in the East Caribbean checks applicants against facial recognition software, which means that you are not getting the true identity of that affluent Dominica passport holder who is seeking to open an account at your bank.
