Supplementary notes

*The Joint Financial Intelligence Unit (JFIU) in Hong Kong is operated by staff members from the Hong Kong Police Force and the Hong Kong Customs & Excise Department. It is responsible for analyzing reporting on suspicious financial transactions, disseminating them further to other authorities and providing financial institutions with handling suggestions.

The "no consent" letter is sent by JFIU when the suspicious transaction is recognized as crime related, which is an essential reference for financial institutions to freeze the suspicious property.
