The Treasury Division on Friday designated Venezuela’s Cartel de los Soles—recognized in English because the Cartel of the Suns—as a Specifically Designated International Terrorist (SDGT) entity, accusing President Nicolas Maduro and senior members of his regime of main the group and supporting main drug cartels whose actions threaten U.S. nationwide safety.
The designation, issued by the Treasury’s Workplace of International Belongings Management (OFAC) on July 25 below counterterrorism authorities, blocks all property and pursuits of the group inside U.S. jurisdiction, and usually prohibits Individuals from participating in transactions with it.
