Asset freeze, travel ban and director disqualification sanction

The Secretary of State considers that there are reasonable grounds to suspect that FAISAL ABDUL MUTALLIB KHAN is an involved person under the Global Irregular Migration and Trafficking in Persons Sanctions Regulations 2025 as he is or has been involved in facilitating a relevant activity, namely trafficking in persons. Specifically, he engaged in the recruitment of Indian nationals using deception for the purposes of exploitation. Using social media and other forms of communication, he advertised well paid jobs within the 'Russian security sector' but, upon the recruits’ arrival in Russia, they were forced to fight against their will in Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine. The recruits faced menaces including verbal abuse, threats and violence.
