The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced that it has added one entity to its Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN List). This means that all properties and interests owned by this entity within U.S. jurisdiction are blocked, and U.S. citizens are generally not allowed to do business with them. This action follows OFAC's determination that certain legal criteria have been met, and it was officially issued on January 3, 2025. For more details, people can visit OFAC's official website.
Simple Explanation
