Pangates International Corporation Ltd is a company based in UAE. Placed under US sanctions due to its affiliation with the Abdulkarim Group in providing oil support and equipment to the Syrian regime and its military apparatus. The company’s director and owner, Wael Abdulkarim, is also covered by US sanctions. Adnan Abdulkarim, who resides in Jordan, is a shareholder in Pengates. The US authorities are not aware that he is a shareholder, as he joined the company in 2013 through a document that had not been in the company’s record and was only added later. An investigative reporter for The New Arab obtained a copy of these files, which also mentioned the name of Nassim Barqawi. Pangates’ offices in Dubai and Sharjah have been shut down. Since 2013, Syria Islamic Bank has been accredited to the company, which is a subsidiary of Abdulkarim Group. Pangates International Corporation Ltd is covered by US and EU sanctions.
