Background
The Kingpin Act became law on December 3, 1999. The Kingpin Act
provides a statutory framework for the imposition of 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 the benefits of trade
and transactions involving U.S. companies and individuals.
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 Kingpin Act provides that the Secretary of the Treasury,
in consultation 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, may designate and block the
property and interests in property, subject to U.S. jurisdiction, of
persons who are 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; or (3) playing a
significant role in international narcotics trafficking.
On May 11, 2016, the Acting Director of OFAC designated the
following individual whose property and interests in property are
blocked pursuant to section 805(b) of the Kingpin Act.
