Press Release by the Ministry for Home Affairs, Security and Employment
Further to the Statement of OFAC, as published on 5 March 2024, the Maltese Government is initiating the process of deprivation of Maltese citizenship of a person that appeared on the sanctions as published by the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control involving Maltese legal and natural persons.
In his responsibility for matters relating to Maltese citizenship, the deprivation process is initiated by the Minister for Home Affairs, Security and Employment.
This is being done in accordance with the Maltese Citizenship Act, Cap. 188 of the Laws of Malta and the respective Subsidiary Legislation, as these provide that the responsible minister may deprive persons registered or naturalised with Maltese citizenship in those circumstances established by the same legal provisions.
