Background

    On December 3, 1999, the Kingpin Act (21 U.S.C. Sections 1901-1908, 
8 U.S.C. Section 1182) 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 August 4, 2016, the Associate Director of OFAC's Office of 
Global Targeting removed from the SDN List the individuals and entities 
listed below, whose property and interests in property was blocked 
pursuant to the Kingpin Act.
