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 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 and interests in property, subject to U.S.
jurisdiction, of persons 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 October 22, 2009, OFAC designated 6 individuals and 1 entity
whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to
section 805(b) of the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act.
