A British-Kenyan businessman, Kamlesh Pattni, faces UK sanctions for alleged involvement in a vast illicit gold trading scheme.
Pattni's assets are frozen, along with those of his family members, due to accusations of decades-long gold smuggling from Africa.
His alleged role in the Goldenberg scandal, which nearly bankrupted Kenya, and connections to Zimbabwe's gold trade, contribute to these actions.
The UK aims to disrupt Pattni's operations and deter others from engaging in similar illegal activities that fuel corruption and human rights abuses.
