Stati Uniti: la lotta al terrorismo

 

Terrorist Assets Report 2020

BY WHITNEY CHAVEZ · SEPTEMBER 8, 2021

The Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is the lead U.S. government agency responsible for administering economic sanctions designed to combat terrorism. These sanctions entail the blocking of assets in order to target international terrorist organizations and their supporters.

OFAC has released its Twenty-ninth Annual Report to the Congress on Assets in the United States Relating to Terrorist Countries and Organizations Engaged in International Terrorism for calendar year 2020.

Implementation of U.S. economic sanctions programs requires OFAC to identify individuals or entities for designation, to assist parties in complying with its regulatory efforts, and to enforce monetary penalties against those who do not cooperate.

As of December 31, 2020 approximately $63 million relating to Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs) and Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) has been blocked. In addition, approximately $140.76 million in assets have been identified as related to the three designated state sponsors of terrorism (Iran, Syria, North Korea).
