What changed

OFAC has published a notice detailing the addition of three individuals to its Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List. These designations are based on determinations that the individuals satisfied applicable legal criteria, specifically related to providing support for Kim Se Un and AMNOKGANG TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, under Executive Orders 13382 and 13810, respectively. The notice includes updated identifying information for one of these individuals. All property and interests in property subject to U.S. jurisdiction belonging to these persons are now blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with them.

Regulated entities, particularly those in the financial services sector, must immediately review their customer lists and transaction monitoring systems to ensure compliance with these new designations. Failure to comply with sanctions programs can result in significant civil and criminal penalties. Entities should ensure their compliance programs are updated to reflect these additions to the SDN List and to prevent prohibited transactions.

What to do next

Review customer lists and transaction monitoring systems for individuals added to the SDN List.
Ensure compliance programs are updated to reflect new designations.
Block any property or interests in property subject to U.S. jurisdiction belonging to the newly designated individuals.

Penalties

Civil and criminal penalties for non-compliance with sanctions programs.
