The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced sanctions against two Mexican nationals and nine entities linked to the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG) for a fuel theft and smuggling operation across the southern U.S. border. The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated Oscar Guillermo Juraidini Silva and several shell companies that facilitate the smuggling of gasoline, diesel and other fuels from the United States into Mexico to evade Mexican taxes and generate tens of millions of dollars annually for the cartel. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) issued a supplemental alert outlining financial typologies and red flags for such smuggling schemes. The actions target the cartel’s non‑drug revenue streams and aim to disrupt its illicit financial operations.
