Washington D.C. - The U.S. Department of the Treasury has imposed sanctions on a network of individuals and entities accused of laundering money for the Sinaloa cartel. According to a statement released by the Treasury Department, the sanctions target six individuals and seven businesses believed to be instrumental in facilitating the cartel's financial operations. These businesses operate in various sectors, including real estate and financial services.
The sanctions freeze any assets the designated individuals and entities may have in the United States and prohibit U.S. citizens from engaging in transactions with them. The Treasury Department emphasized that these actions are designed to disrupt the cartel's ability to move illicit funds and weaken its overall operations. Officials believe the sanctions will hinder the Sinaloa cartel's ability to finance its drug trafficking activities and further destabilize the region. The Treasury Department will continue to monitor the situation and take further action as needed to combat drug trafficking and related financial crimes.
