U.S. Government Economic Sanctions Against Libya

U.S. GOVERNMENT ECONOMIC SANCTIONS AGAINST LIBYA: U.S. law prohibits U.S. citizens from conducting commerce with Libyan-owned businesses. The Corinthia Group of hotels, which owns a number of hotels in several countries, including the Corinthia Atlantic Hotel in The Gambia, has been determined by the U.S. Government to be a Specially Designated National of Libya. U.S. citizens are alerted that they should treat any of the Corinthia Group hotels as properties owned and/or controlled by the Government of Libya. This action against the Corinthia Group was published in the Federal Register on August 5, 1991 . Financial transactions with the Corinthia Atlantic Hotel and other Corinthia Group hotels, including payment for lodging, drinks, and meals, are prohibited by U.S. law. U.S. persons, organizations, or businesses violating this prohibition may be subject to criminal penalties (up to 10 years in prison, $500,000 in corporate and $250,000 in individual fines) and civil penalties (up to $11,000 per violation) under U.S. law.
