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. According to a May 20 press release by the Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, 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. The cartel was previously designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the Trump administration, which has labeled fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction. -- 📺 Watch NTD News 24/7 on cable, broadcast, and streaming: https://www.ntd.com/watch -- 🧶More NTD Programs: https://www.ntd.com/programs?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=SocialM -- 🇺🇸 Stay updated with breaking news, special reports, and LIVE COVERAGE on NTD: https://ept.ms/NTDlive_ -- 🔵Sign up for our newsletter to stay informed with NTD News. 👉https://www.ntd.com/newsletter.htm?utm_source=YouTube.
