  • Working Backwards: December 19, 2025 OFAC Designations – with Formatting Corrections and Enhancements

    You’ll notice that Gemini grouped related designations together for the Supplemental Information derived from the Treasury press release – smart way to do things. There are some times you say “that’s actually an improvement”. In the PAARSS update, it only listed the removal of the Caesar Act program after the last listing, since the change was actually being made to all. That one was too confusing – so I made it more obvious in the prompt where the discovery and documentation of changes started and ended. A simple statement like “end of listing reformatting” is very effective – like parentheses…

  • Half the battle is the reformatting

    Here’s Wednesday’s designations, with some fixes to my understanding of the format (unlike other formats, the field name/label in OFAC listings are not really differentiated by formatting or separator character), as well as some reformatting so it’s easier on the eyes to tease apart the various sections, listings and fields:

    So, this was a result of trial and error – and asking Gemini what went wrong a few times. I learned the following things:

    • Originally, Gemini added “Linked to” data to the entities, linking them to the vessels that linked back to them. I had to add a line to the prompt to tell it to report what was actually in the listing and not infer Linked to data
    • WordPress sometimes does not play nicely with Gemini without manual intervention:
      • Hyperlinks sometimes will be preserved, and sometimes will get lost. However, they work just fine outside a standard paragraph – like, in a heading block.
      • Certain formatting, like bolding and italics, are preserved in a WordPress paragraph – centering is definitely not. Originally, Gemini gave me the <center></center> HTML tags around the text I wanted centered. I had a handful of options – center the text manually, give up on the centering, make the line into a header line or use a Custom HTML block.

    Supplemental Information: The Treasury Department designated these seven individuals for their roles as family members and associates helping to sustain the narco-corruption structure of the Maduro regime. Specifically, the action targets the networks of Carlos Erik Malpica Flores (a nephew of Cilia Flores and former official at PDVSA and the Venezuelan Treasury) and Panamanian businessman Ramon Carretero Napolitano. Eloisa Flores de Malpica is the mother of Carlos Erik Malpica Flores and sister of Cilia Flores. Carlos Evelio Malpica Torrealba is his father, Iriamni Malpica Flores is his sister, Damaris del Carmen Hurtado Perez is his wife, and Erica Patricia Malpica Hurtado is his adult daughter. Roberto and Vicente Luis Carretero Napolitano are immediate family members of Ramon Carretero. Malpica Flores has been previously sanctioned and linked to corruption within Venezuela’s state-run oil company, PDVSA.

    You can learn more about the sanctions process in this video: OFAC Sanctions List Search tool which explains how to verify designated individuals.

    Additionally, we have a new version of GL 5:  Venezuela-related General License 5T, “Authorizing Certain Transactions Related to the Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. 2020 8.5 Percent Bond on or After February 3, 2026.” As usual, the date at which you can deal in the bond has been pushed out – now it’s February 3rd of next year.

    And the related Frequently Asked Question – FAQ 595 – has been updated to reflect the new GL version and the new date.
