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
[[Page 32436]]
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, that are owned or controlled of persons
who have been identified by the President as significant foreign
narcotics traffickers. In addition, the Act separately 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, and the Secretary
of State, 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. The authority to identify, designate, and block the
property and interests in property of persons under the Kingpin Act is
delegated to the Director of OFAC pursuant to 31 CFR 598.803.
On June 1, 2015, the Acting Director of OFAC designated the
following three individuals whose property and interests in property
are blocked pursuant to sections 805(b)(2) and (3) of the Kingpin Act.
