The US Treasury has announced sanctions against nine affiliates of Mexico’s Sinaloa drug trafficking cartel, as well as the current leader of Colombia’s powerful Clan del Golfo criminal enterprise.
The Office of Foreign Assets Control designated all ten for their roles in drug trafficking, meaning any of their assets in the United States will be blocked and US citizens are generally prohibited from dealing with any of their assets.
The nine affiliates of the Sinaloa cartel follow a US indictment unsealed in April that targeted a branch of the Sinaloa cartel run by the sons of former leader Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán.
