Coverage: Algeria
The Algeria CTRF list, extracted from the official gazette with every name validated.
A Journal Officiel PDF read through a dedicated lane whose last step is a deterministic check that each extracted name really appears in the gazette text.
AdverseMe screens against the Algeria CTRF list, the national list of terrorist persons and entities published in Algeria's Journal Officiel and carried by the CTRF. The PDF is fetched daily at 04:30 UTC and read through a PDF lane: deterministic text extraction, structuring at temperature zero, then a validation gate that drops any name not found in the source text.

The list
Algeria CTRF list
Issued through the Cellule de Traitement du Renseignement Financier.
What it is
Algeria's national list of terrorist persons and entities, published by order in the Journal Officiel and carried by the CTRF, the financial intelligence unit.
The file as parsed
A gazette PDF, currently Journal Officiel number 11 of 2022. Text is extracted deterministically, structured into entities at temperature zero, then each entity's Latin name is checked token by token against the extracted text. Names that fail the check are dropped and counted.
How it is ingested
Fetched daily at 04:30 UTC, stored as an immutable snapshot, normalised into the watchlist store and diffed against the previous version. A failed fetch keeps the last good snapshot and is logged.
Screening and hits
How a match is handled
- 1
Candidates by name
Trigram search over the store proposes candidates; transliteration and a consonant-skeleton comparison catch spelling variants.
- 2
Confirmed with details
Whatever disambiguators the gazette provides are used by the same resolver as the global feeds to confirm or reject a candidate.
- 3
Associated parties
For a company subject, officers and beneficial owners are batched against the same store.
- 4
Escalation
Every new hit from the daily diff alerts for free; a confirmed match on an added entry escalates to a full re-screen.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Algeria CTRF list?
Algeria's national list of persons and entities designated for terrorism, published by ministerial order in the Journal Officiel and made available through the Cellule de Traitement du Renseignement Financier, the country's financial intelligence unit. It is a domestic list distinct from the UN Consolidated List.
Which edition is parsed?
The gazette edition registered in the ingest today is Journal Officiel number 11 of 2022. The full evolving list is spread across several gazette orders, so coverage is that edition rather than every order ever published. Additional editions are added as rows in the same ingest registry.
Why does a PDF need a different lane?
The gazette is a mixed-script document whose Latin names survive text extraction but whose layout does not. The PDF lane extracts the text deterministically, has a model structure it into entities at temperature zero, then validates every entity against the source text and drops anything that is not there. The gate is deterministic and unit-tested; it is the safety net, not the model.
What happens on a hit?
A confirmed match is a critical finding, scored by the AI council and stated on the first page of the PDF report with the list name. Under monitoring, a new designation in the daily diff writes an alert for free, and a confirmed match on an added entry escalates to a full re-screen.
