The action expands earlier December 11 designations and targets familial networks accused of facilitating narco-corruption tied to Nicolás Maduro’s regime. All U.S.-located property and interests of the newly designated individuals are blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from transacting with them without authorization. OFAC noted potential civil and criminal penalties for sanctions violations and provided guidance for petitions for removal from sanctions lists.
