Detained in the Philippines as of June 2008. aDHCcE On the basis of, among other things, the said listing, the Anti-Terrorism Council, through the ATC-Secretariat (ATCS), in a letter dated 16 June 2008, requested the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) to examine, freeze and forfeit the properties owned or controlled by Hilarion Del Rosario Santos III, who is the leader of the RSM, and was arrested by authorities on 26 October 2005 by virtue of a warrant of arrest for kidnapping for ransom 2 (21 counts) issued by Judge Erlinda Uy of the National Capital Judicial Region, Pasig City. Similarly, in a letter dated 18 June 2008, the Government of the United States of America, through its Embassy in Manila, requested the AMLC to freeze the assets including property or interests in property owned or controlled directly or indirectly by the RSM and the said members. The request is also based on the said UNSC Consolidated List. HaTSDA The RSM is a Philippine-based Islamic extremist group that utilizes violence and terrorism with the aim of turning the Philippines into an Islamic state. It was established in January 2002 by Hilarion del Rosario Santos III, who has been its leader, and was involved in the planning of bombing operations, as well as stockpiling of weapons for these operations. The RSM assisted in planning the bombing of Super Ferry 14 in February 2004 by the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG). 3 The said bombing resulted in the loss of an estimated 116 lives, the worst act of maritime terrorism in recent history. RSM members were also involved in the February 2005 Valentine's Day bombings in the cities of Makati, General Santos and Davao, as well as several plots to bomb high profile targets, including Manila public utilities, tourist areas and the US Embassy in Manila. HSIDTE RSM received training, funds, and operational assistance from the ASG and Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), 4 two terrorist organizations previously added to the UN Consolidated List and designated by the United States as Specially Designated Global terrorists (SDGT) on September 24, 2001 and October 25, 2002, respectively. RSM, in return, provided field operatives and a pool of potential recruits to the ASG and JI, enabling them to expand their reach to the urban areas of the Philippines. On 16 June 2008, the U.S. Department of Treasury and the U.S. Department of State designated the RSM and its founder and leader, Hilarion Del Rosario Santos III and seven (7) of its members under E.O. 13224 as SDGTs. AHDaET The inclusion of the RSM and the said eight (8) members in the UNSC Consolidated List validates their being associated with terrorists. The Council resolved to request the Supervising Authorities: (1) To disseminate to all covered institutions under their respective jurisdictions copies of this Resolution; and (2) Pursuant to Section 7 (1) of R.A. 9160, as amended, to direct covered institutions to submit directly to the Anti-Money Laundering Council reports of covered or suspicious transactions, if any, involving the RAJAH SOLAIMAN MOVEMENT and its members above-mentioned.
