OFAC Designates a Number of New Kingpins
June 12, 2013 Leave a comment
Today the United States Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) designated eighteen (18) individuals and fifteen (15) entities linked to Rafael Caro Quintero, an alleged Mexican drug trafficker. According to the Treasury Press Release, Rafael Caro Quintero is believed to have been involved in criminal activity since the late 1970s when he and others, including Juan Jose Esparragoza Moreno (a.k.a. “El Azul”), are believed to have formed the Guadalajara drug cartel and amassed an illicit fortune. According to OFAC, Caro Quintero was behind the kidnapping and murder of Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Special Agent (SA) Enrique Camarena in 1985. Caro Quintero was convicted in Mexico for his involvement in SA Camarena’s murder and drug trafficking and is currently serving a 40 year prison sentence there.
OFAC designations can be damaging, but there is recourse. For more information on how to contest an OFAC SDN designation as a Foreign Narcotics Trafficking Kingpin (SDNTK), or any other type of designation, please read our page on OFAC SDN Removal.
