The Kingpin Act establishes a program targeting the activities of significant foreign narcotics traffickers and their organizations on a worldwide basis. It provides a statutory framework for the imposition of sanctions against significant foreign narcotics traffickers and their organizations on a worldwide basis, with the objective of denying their businesses and agents access to the U.S. financial system and the benefits of trade and transactions involving U.S. companies and individuals. The Kingpin Act blocks all property and interests in property, subject to U.S. jurisdiction, that are owned or controlled of persons who have been identified by the President as significant foreign narcotics traffickers. In addition, the Act separately provides that the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Attorney General, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of State, may designate and block the property and interests in property, subject to U.S. jurisdiction, of persons who are found to be:

(2)owned, controlled, or directed by, or acting for or on behalf of, a person designated pursuant to the Kingpin Act; or

(3)playing a significant role in international narcotics trafficking. The authority to identify, designate, and block the property and interests in property of persons under the Kingpin Act is delegated to the Director of OFAC pursuant to 31 CFR 598.803.
