Taipei, March 31 (CNA) The assets of a Taiwanese man accused of helping North Korea evade international trading bans have been frozen with immediate effect, the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) said Saturday.

In a statement, the justice ministry said it took the decision to freeze the assets of Taiwanese Tsang Yung-yuan to show the government’s resolve to uphold the sanctions issued by the United Nations Security Council against North Korea.

On Friday, the U.N. Security Council published a statement on its website, saying that Tsang had “coordinated North Korean coal exports with a North Korean broker operating in a third country.”

Tsang was the only individual on the U.N. blacklist, which also included 21 shipping companies and 27 vessels.    [FULL  STORY]
