Banks, forced to freeze the assets of the government of Libya at the request of the international community faced the problem of linguistic nature. Financiers admit mistakes when auditing the names of their Arab clients from the fact that in the world there is no unified system of transliteration of Arabic names into English.

The U.S. Treasury Department, in particular, the so-called Gadhafi: Muamar Gaddafi, Muammar Gathafi, Muammar Gadhafi, Qaddafi, and even Elkaddafi. Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Switzerland is written in their documents as Libyan leader Muammar Gheddafi, and the UN - Muammar Qadhafi. All this creates huge problems: the staff of the banks can just skip searched accounts.

"However, what is to be sure that nothing is missed, the bank officers to view all of the personal affairs of clients manually - the newspaper said. According to the provisional authorities of Libya, of all overseas assets of the country have been frozen at $ 120 billion, "Gaddafi has always been our favorite," - says Bertrand Lisbane, who founded the firm Linguistic Search Solutions.
