Sanctions List Grows: Treasury Adds More Targets to Economic Blacklist
Published Date: 12/5/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Treasury’s OFAC just blocked the property of Asdrubal Rafael Escobar Cabrera, a Venezuelan linked to a big criminal group called Tren De Aragua. This means Americans can’t do business with him, and any money or property he has under U.S. control is frozen starting December 3, 2025. It’s a strong move to stop bad actors from using the U.S. financial system.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
U.S. Persons Barred From Dealing With Listed Targets
On December 3, 2025, OFAC added multiple individuals and entities (including Asdrubal Rafael Escobar Cabrera) to its Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List. All property and interests in property of those persons that are subject to U.S. jurisdiction are blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with them.
Named Targets Marked With Secondary Sanctions Risk
The notice lists several individuals and entities with the label 'Secondary sanctions risk: section 1(b) of Executive Order 13224, as amended by Executive Order 13886.' That designation appears next to multiple named persons and entities linked to Tren De Aragua in the December 3, 2025 action.
