There was a case in the UK of a guy who sold his house, put the money in a UK bank. At a later date he decided to transfer the money to a different UK bank.
Apparently the transfer took a circuitous route - because it was seized by the US authorities
. Seems he'd had business dealings with Iraq in the '80s, totally legal under UK law - but something the US took an interest in.
Last I heard Anne Widdicombe M.P. was
raising the matter in the UK Parliament, asking our Ministers to make representations, and he was still out of pocket.
