OFAC has designated 57 additional individuals and 21 businesses as specially designated narcotics traffickers [SDNT's]. It is extremely urgent that all property in which these Colombian businesses and individuals have an interest be blocked immediately. In addition, one SDNT and three SDN's of Iraq have been removed from OFAC's master list of specially designated nationals and blocked persons. Information on other SDNT's has also been updated.
