The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has announced new additions to the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List. These designations were issued under the Sudan-related sanctions program, specifically Executive Order 14098.
The updated list includes several individuals and several organizations. Among the individuals sanctioned are Alok Choudhari of India, Jack Peter Derman Guzman of Panama, Fredy Alejandro Lopez Ocampo, Enrique Daniel Palacios Quintanilla, and Tariq Hussain Muhammad Madani of Sudan.
Several companies were also targeted in this update. The sanctions affect the Sudanese state-owned enterprise Ports Engineering Company Ltd, as well as Target Multiactivities Company Ltd, which is based in Khartoum. Additionally, the Indian firm SBL Energy Limited, also known as Amin Explosives Private Limited, has been designated.
The Treasury's announcement also noted various links between the sanctioned parties. For instance, Talent Bridge, S.A. was linked to multiple individuals, while SBL Energy Limited and Ports Engineering Company Ltd were identified in connection with Target Multiactivities Company Ltd.
