Yemen Freezes Assets and Bans 398 Entities Linked to Houthi Militias

Aden – Yemeni Public Prosecution has announced the freezing of assets and prohibition of dealings with 398 individuals, entities, and vessels linked to the Houthi militia.
The decision was revealed during a high-level meeting at the Public Prosecution Office in Aden, chaired by Prosecutor General Judge Qaher Mustafa.
According to the official statement, the measures include 303 individuals, 83 entities, and 12 ships, all identified as part of a broader network supporting terrorist financing.
The action is part of Yemen’s implementation of international and national resolutions, including UN Security Council Resolution 2624 (2022), National Defense Council Resolution No. 1 (2022), and Presidential Leadership Council Resolution No. 8 (2024), which formally designated the Houthi group as a terrorist organization A.
The meeting brought together representatives from law enforcement, regulatory bodies, and financial oversight agencies, all committed to strengthening institutional coordination in the fight against money laundering and terrorism financing.
Judge Mustafa emphasized the urgency of transparency and reform, warning that failure to act decisively could lead to economic collapse and undermine the authority of the legitimate government.
This latest move marks a significant escalation in Yemen’s efforts to cut off funding sources to armed groups destabilizing the country. Officials also confirmed that six individuals were removed from the sanctions list following legal reviews.
The judiciary’s campaign is expected to continue with further investigations and enforcement actions targeting illicit financial flows and support networks tied to extremist organizations.
