RE: OFAC UPDATE
The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has added the names of seven foreign
individuals to its list of narcotics kingpins (SDNTKs),1 removed one person from the list of
specially designated nationals (SDNs) and changed one entry under its Iraq sanctions.
The seven new SDNTKs, whose assets must be blocked immediately,2 are:

1 Significant foreign narcotics traffickers and foreign persons designated by the Secretary of the Treasury are referred
to collectively as Specially Designated Narcotics Traffickers. Foreign persons designated under the Foreign Narcotics
Kingpin Designation Act (21 U.S.C. 1901-1908, 8 U.S.C 1182) are referred to as “SDNTKs” on OFAC’s listing of
“Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons” to differentiate them from the Specially Designated Narcotics
Traffickers (SDNTs) named under Executive Order 12978, dated October 21, 1995.
2 OFAC regulations require US persons, including investment companies, to block all accounts and assets of persons
or entities named by OFAC. For an overview of OFAC regulations and a description of the various measures that
mutual fund organizations may wish to consider adopting to ensure compliance with those regulations, refer to the
