The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has released a notice listing individuals added to the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN List) as of January 17, 2025. These individuals have been identified based on meeting specific legal criteria, resulting in their properties and interests within U.S. jurisdiction being blocked. This means that people in the United States generally cannot legally engage in transactions with the individuals listed. More information about the sanctions and the SDN List is available on OFAC's website.
