Background
The Kingpin Act became law on
December 3, 1999. 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, owned or controlled by
significant foreign narcotics traffickers
as identified by the President. In
addition, 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, the Secretary of State, and the
Secretary of Homeland Security may
designate and block the property and
interests in property, subject to U.S.
jurisdiction, of persons who are 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
Kingpin Act; or (3) playing a significant
role in international narcotics
trafficking.
