Background

    On December 3, 1999, the Kingpin Act (21 U.S.C. Sections 1901-1908,
8 U.S.C. Section 1182) 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.
    On August 4, 2016, the Associate Director of OFAC's Office of
Global Targeting removed from the SDN List the individuals and entities
listed below, whose property and interests in property was blocked
pursuant to the Kingpin Act.
