Background
On December 3, 1999, the Kingpin Act was signed into law by the
President of the United States. The Kingpin Act provides a statutory
framework for the President to impose
[[Page 72752]]
sanctions against significant foreign narcotics traffickers and their
organizations on a worldwide basis, with the objective of denying their
businesses and agents access to the U.S. financial system and to the
benefits of trade and transactions involving U.S. persons and entities.
The Kingpin Act blocks all property and interests in property,
subject to U.S. jurisdiction, owned or controlled by significant
foreign narcotics traffickers as identified by the President. In
addition, the Secretary of the Treasury consults with the Attorney
General, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, the Director
of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Administrator of the Drug
Enforcement Administration, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of
State, and the Secretary of Homeland Security when designating and
blocking the property or interests in property, subject to U.S.
jurisdiction, of persons or entities found to be: (1) Materially
assisting in, or providing financial or technological support for or
to, or providing goods or services in support of, the international
narcotics trafficking activities of a person designated pursuant to the
Kingpin Act; (2) owned, controlled, or directed by, or acting for or on
behalf of, a person designated pursuant to the Kingpin Act; and/or (3)
playing a significant role in international narcotics trafficking.
