Background
The Kingpin Act became law on December 3, 1999. The Kingpin Act
establishes a program targeting the activities of significant foreign
narcotics traffickers and their organizations on a worldwide basis. It
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 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.
