US Imposes Sanctions on Mexican and Colombian Entities Linked to Drug Trafficking

The U.S. Treasury Department has announced a series of sanctions targeting a network associated with the Sinaloa Cartel, which includes a chain of ice cream shops and a pharmacy linked to the ruthless organization. These moves are part of a broader crackdown on drug trafficking, specifically focusing on fentanyl and human trafficking operations. As part of this initiative, the U.S. has frozen assets of the Sinaloa Cartel and is also enhancing its attention on money laundering. A senior Treasury official is set to travel to Colombia and Mexico for discussions on fentanyl smuggling coordinated with local governments. This latest round of sanctions underscores the significant efforts being made to combat drug trafficking networks spanning both Mexico and Colombia.
