Article 6 Exceptions

A person is not guilty of an offence under article 4 or 5 if he credits a frozen account with interest or other earnings on the account.

A relevant institution is not guilty of an offence under article 4 or 5 if the institution credits a frozen account with funds transferred by a third party, provided that the institution informs the Treasury without delay.

For the avoidance of doubt, article 4 applies to any funds credited to a frozen account in accordance with this article.

In this article—

• “frozen account” means an account of a designated person;

• “third party” means a person other than the account-holder or the relevant institution with which the account is maintained.
