Background
On December 3, 1999, the Kingpin
Act was signed into law by the
President of the United States. The
Kingpin Act provides a statutory

sanctions against significant foreign
narcotics traffickers and their
organizations on a worldwide basis,
with the objective of denying their

trade and transactions involving U.S.
persons and entities.
The Kingpin Act blocks all property
and interests in property, subject to U.S.
jurisdiction, owned or controlled by
significant foreign narcotics traffickers
as identified by the President. In
addition, the Secretary of the Treasury
consults 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, the Secretary of State, and the
Secretary of Homeland Security when

interests in property, subject to U.S.
jurisdiction, of persons or entities found
to be: (1) Materially assisting in, or
providing financial or technological
support for or to, or providing goods or
services in support of, the international
narcotics trafficking activities of a
person designated pursuant to the
Kingpin Act; (2) owned, controlled, or
directed by, or acting for or on behalf of,
a person designated pursuant to the
