Processing notes:

  • Amendments section: Omitted — “Unrelated Administrative List Changes” is followed by “None.”
  • Supplemental information, entities: No press release was associated with this update, and no reliable pre-cutoff public information was identified for the five entity designees.
  • Arabic primary name (QAMATI): The Arabic script rendering “(Arabic: محمود القماطي)” appears immediately after the primary name and before the AKA block in the source listing — consistent with OFAC’s practice of including an alternate-script rendering of the primary name rather than a separate alias. I’ve retained it on the name line accordingly.
  • FRANGIE — “Additional Sanctions Information” field: Absent from his listing in the source; not included.
