US targets Venezuelan Gang Tren de Aragua with new sanctions
(MENAFN) The US Treasury Department announced a fresh round of sanctions on Wednesday aimed at individuals linked to the Venezuela-based criminal group Tren de Aragua (TdA) for engaging in money laundering activities, according to reports.
Among those designated is Venezuelan performer Jimena Romina Araya Navarro, popularly known as "Rosita." She is part of a network of five people connected to the entertainment sector who have allegedly provided material support to TdA, according to statements from authorities.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent emphasized the administration’s stance on combating criminal organizations, stating, “Under President Trump, barbaric terrorist cartels can no longer operate with impunity across our borders. The Tren de Aragua network’s narcotrafficking and human smuggling operations have long posed a grave threat to our nation.”
He further highlighted the US commitment to safeguarding its citizens, adding, “The US will continue to use 'every tool to cut off these terrorists' from the US and global financial system and keep American citizens safe.”
The sanctions represent an ongoing effort to disrupt the operations of transnational criminal networks and limit their access to international financial systems, as noted in reports.
