The Treasury Department has announced new sanctions targeting two networks linked to the Sinaloa Cartel. 
It accuses them of laundering proceeds from fentanyl and other narcotics. 
Officials say the measures hit more than a dozen individuals and entities. 
That includes six Mexican nationals and two companies tied to cryptocurrency based money laundering operations. 
One of the key targets is Jesus Gonzalez Penuelas. 
Authorities say he's a major fentanyl trafficker responsible for distributing drugs into the United States. 
The cartel was previously designated a foreign terrorist organization by the Trump administration, which has labeled fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction. 
The Treasury says the action is aimed at disrupting the financial networks fueling the opioid crisis and protecting American communities.
