What changed

OFAC deleted multiple aliases of Luis Rodriguez Olivera from the SDN List under the SDNTK (Counter Narcotics Trafficking Kingpin) sanctions program. The individual, associated with locations in Jalisco, Mexico and Fresno, California, had been designated for narcotics trafficking activities. Concurrently, OFAC removed Russia-related designations under separate action. These removals mean U.S. persons are no longer generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with these delisted parties, and any blocked property must be unblocked.

Compliance teams should immediately update sanctions screening systems to remove these delisted entries and their aliases to avoid false positives. Financial institutions should review transaction monitoring rules and consider whether historical alerts involving these parties warrant reassessment. Entities that had blocked property or rejected transactions related to these parties should contact OFAC regarding unblocking procedures. These delistings signal potential policy shifts under both the Kingpin Act and Russia sanctions programs, warranting broader review of sanctions compliance programs.

What to do next

Update sanctions screening systems to remove delisted entries for Luis Rodriguez Olivera and all associated aliases
Review transaction monitoring rules and reassess any alerts or blocks related to delisted parties
Contact OFAC regarding any blocked property requiring unblocking procedures

Penalties

Civil penalties up to $1,367,180 per violation for violations of OFAC regulations (adjusted annually)
