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 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 or the
Secretary of the Treasury. 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.
