Background

    On December 3, 1999, the Kingpin Act 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 June 3, 2016, the Associate Director of the Office of Global 
Targeting removed from the SDN List the entity listed below, whose 
property and interests in property was blocked pursuant to the Kingpin 
Act.
