    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.
