Individual Removed from OFAC SDN List
On April 3, 2026, the Department of State announced that a person listed on the Department of the Treasury's Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN) List was removed and their property and interests in property subject to U.S. jurisdiction are unblocked.
