OFAC adds four Democratic Republic of the Congo designations

Treasury has announced that its Office of Foreign Assets Control has sanctioned four individuals who have engaged in destabilizing activities responsible for prolonging the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and contributing to widespread poverty, chronic food insecurity, and population displacement. As a result of yesterday's actions, all of the designated persons' assets within U.S. jurisdiction are blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with them. For identifying information on the designated individuals, see our OFAC Update.
