Four Sinaloa Cartel Figures Targeted Including Sons of “Chapo” Guzman


The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced today the designation of four key Sinaloa Cartel operatives, including two sons of Sinaloa drug lord Joaquin “Chapo” Guzman Loera.

Today’s action, pursuant to the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (Kingpin Act), prohibits United States persons from conducting financial or commercial transactions with these four individuals, and also freezes any assets they may have under the jurisdiction of the United States. Today’s action would not have been possible without the support of the DEA.
