Background
The Kingpin Act became law on December 3, 1999. The Kingpin Act
establishes a program targeting the activities of significant foreign
narcotics traffickers and their organizations on a worldwide basis. It
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. companies and
individuals.
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. In
addition, the Kingpin Act blocks the property and interests in
property, subject to U.S. jurisdiction, of foreign persons designated
by the Secretary of Treasury, in consultation with the Attorney
General, the Director of Central Intelligence, 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 who are 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; or (3) playing a significant role in international narcotics
trafficking.
On January 15, 2008, OFAC designated one additional entity and six
