The case against World Check found that the company derives its regulations from governments such as Egypt and Israel. The head of the Palestinian Center for Return in London, Majid al-Zeer, has won a lawsuit against the company after mistaking him for terrorism.
Al-Zeer adds that the company admitted in the preamble of the judicial settlement that it derived the information that was based on the classification of the Palestinian activist in the list of terrorism from the Israeli occupation state.
Al-Zeer points out that his status on the terrorism list has damaged the ability of his center to serve the Palestinian refugees, due to the closure of his bank account for years and his inability to raise funds.
The classification of terrorism on the list of "World Check" also affected people and Islamic institutions in Britain, such as the Finsbury Park mosque in London, who were surprised in 2014 by freezing their bank accounts on charges of supporting terrorism, before Thomson Reuters apologized for the error in the classification of the mosque You agree to pay compensation.
Al Jazeera's London correspondent has tried to reach out to World Check, but has received no response. Lawyers for the victims of the company's list say it is not the only company to carry out this mysterious underground activity.
The Ould Chek list is not limited to the classification of terrorism, but includes many classifications of individuals and institutions associated with various crimes, such as: money laundering, bribery, corruption, kidnapping, human trafficking, organized crime, piracy, money fraud, drug trafficking, cybercrime, financial market manipulation, environmental crime, migrant smuggling and forced labor.
