    Treasury Press Release: Treasury Cracks Down on Transnational Criminal Organization Behind Cyber Scam Operations Targeting Americans

    State Press Release: Dismantling Transnational Criminal Organization Xinbi Guarantee

    Additions:

    The following entities have been added to OFAC’s SDN List:

    OFAC Program: [TCO]  Transnational Criminal Organizations Sanctions Regulations, 31 C.F.R. part 590; Executive Order 13581

    ANWEN TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.

    • Address: Prince International Plaza Building No. 616, Russia Federation Boulevard, Phum Se Pe Se, Phnom Penh, Cambodia
    • Organization Established Date: 05 May 2025
    • Organization Type: Computer programming activities
    • Tax ID No.: K009-902502292 (Cambodia)
    • Business Registration Number: 00078312 (Cambodia)
    • Linked to: XINBI GUARANTEE

    Supplemental Information: Treasury identifies Anwen as a Cambodia-based application development company that built XinbiPay, also referred to as the NewPay wallet, a cryptocurrency payment and digital wallet application that Xinbi Guarantee launched at the point it began moving its networks onto SafeW. OFAC designated Anwen under E.O. 13581, as amended, for having materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of, Xinbi Guarantee. One observation, which is not a Treasury claim: the address OFAC gives for Anwen is in the Prince International Plaza building in Phnom Penh, and Treasury’s release separately notes that entities forming part of the Prince Group TCO have used the Xinbi Guarantee platform.

    SAFEW TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.

    • Chinese Simplified: 赛方科技有限公司
    • Address: Singapore
    • Website: https://www.safew-app.org
    • alt. Website: https://safew.org
    • Organization Established Date: 2018
    • Organization Type: Computer programming activities
    • Linked to: XINBI GUARANTEE

    Supplemental Information: Treasury describes SafeW Technology as a Singapore-based developer of SafeW, a heavily private end to end encrypted messaging application. Around June 2025, in response to growing law enforcement scrutiny, Xinbi Guarantee began migrating its merchant and money laundering networks onto SafeW, and it encourages its users to coordinate buying and selling there. OFAC designated the company under E.O. 13581, as amended, on the same material support basis it applied to Anwen.

    Supplemental Information: Xinbi Guarantee is the principal target of this action. Treasury describes it as a Chinese-language platform, used extensively by Chinese cybercriminals, that runs an illicit online marketplace connecting transnational criminal syndicates, including scam center operators, with merchants selling financial services, technology and other goods that support their operations. The marketplace supplies escrow services to scam operators, money laundering networks and cybercrime syndicates. Treasury says the platform has reportedly been used by North Korean hackers and by several OFAC designated entities, among them Jin Bei Group Co., Ltd. and entities that form part of the Prince Group TCO. Since its inception around 2022 the marketplace has processed the equivalent of more than $24 billion in digital assets and fiat currency, mostly facilitating transactions in Southeast Asia. Treasury also ties its growth to displacement from an earlier enforcement action: after FinCEN identified Huione Pay as a financial institution of primary money laundering concern, cybercriminals moved their activity onto Xinbi Guarantee’s marketplace, which continued offering substantially similar services to an overlapping customer base.

    OFAC designated Xinbi Guarantee under E.O. 13581, as amended by E.O. 13863, for being a foreign person that constitutes a significant transnational criminal organization, and took the action in furtherance of E.O. 14390 of March 6, 2026, “Combating Cybercrime, Fraud, and Predatory Schemes Against American Citizens.” The Justice Department’s Scam Center Strike Force seized Xinbi Guarantee infrastructure and digital asset wallets the same day, and Treasury notes that the designation complements the sanctions the United Kingdom’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office imposed on Xinbi on March 26, 2026.

    LOS TIGUERONES

    • AKA:
      • “Los Fenix”
      • “Los Igualitos”
    • Addresses:
      • Ecuador
      • Peru
    • Secondary sanctions risk: section 1(b) of Executive Order 13224, as amended by Executive Order 13886
    • Organization Type: Transnational Terrorist Group
    • Target Type: Criminal Organization

    Supplemental Information: Neither press release issued alongside this update covers Los Tiguerones, which is a counter terrorism designation rather than part of the Xinbi Guarantee case. The State Department filed the underlying notice, “Designation as Terrorist or Global Terrorist: Los Tiguerones,” for public inspection on September 9, 2026, with publication scheduled for September 10 (FR Doc. 2026-18442). Designations under section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act and under E.O. 13224 both take effect on publication in the Federal Register.

    Los Tiguerones is an Ecuadorian gang based in Esmeraldas province. It broke away from Los Choneros in 2020 following the killing of Los Choneros leader Jorge Luis Zambrano, at the same time as Los Lobos and Los Chone Killers, and the splinter groups later formed the Nueva Generación alliance tied to the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generación. Ecuador designated the group as a terrorist organization in January 2024, among the 22 gangs named in President Daniel Noboa’s decrees declaring an internal armed conflict, in a month when members of the group stormed a Guayaquil television studio during a live broadcast. The designation puts Los Tiguerones alongside the Ecuadorian groups already on the FTO list: Los Choneros and Los Lobos, implemented September 5, 2025, and Chone Killers, implemented July 2, 2026.

    One observation for screening teams: OFAC places the group in Peru as well as Ecuador, a wider footprint than most public reporting on Los Tiguerones describes.

    Amendments:

    Unrelated Administrative List Changes – These administrative corrections fix errors in existing listings only. No new listings have been added. No new sanctions apply to these names.

    OFAC Program: [SDGT]  Global Terrorism Sanctions Regulations, 31 C.F.R. part 594

    BOUKICH, Abdelhakim

    • AKA:
      • “ALHOLANDI, Abu Sulayman”
      • “BABILI, Muhammad”
    • Address: Syria
    • DOB: 15 Dec 1993
    • alt. DOB: 01 Jan 1991
    • POB: The Hague, Netherlands
    • alt. POB: Aleppo, Syria
    • nationality: Netherlands
    • Gender: Male
    • Secondary sanctions risk: section 1(b) of Executive Order 13224, as amended by Executive Order 13886
    • National ID No.: 02040063438 (Syria)
    • Party Type: individual
    • Linked to: ISLAMIC STATE OF IRAQ AND THE LEVANT

    Supplemental Information: The correction reverses the surname and the given name, so the entry now files under B rather than A. Nothing else in the listing changes. Firms that store disposition decisions against a designation’s primary name string, rather than against its OFAC unique identifier, should expect the new form to score differently and should confirm that earlier false positive decisions still attach.

    List of Changes:

    • Field Name: Name
    • Changed:
      • ABDELHAKIM, Boukich to: BOUKICH, Abdelhakim

    OFAC Program: [DPRK4]  Executive Order 13810

    CELESTINO HERRERA, York Louis

    • Address: Barcelona, Spain
    • DOB: 07 Nov 1996
    • POB: La Vega, Dominican Republic
    • nationality: Dominican Republic
    • alt. nationality: Spain
    • Gender: Male
    • Secondary sanctions risk: North Korea Sanctions Regulations, sections 510.201 and 510.210
    • Transactions Prohibited For Persons Owned or Controlled By U.S. Financial Institutions: North Korea Sanctions Regulations section 510.214
    • Passport: XDB250498 (Spain)

    • National ID No.: 24558183W (Spain)
    • Party Type: individual
    • Linked to: YUN, Song Guk

    Supplemental Information: The identifier itself does not change. Only the issuing country moves, from the Dominican Republic to Spain. Observation rather than a stated OFAC rationale: the value carries the shape of a Spanish national identity number, eight digits followed by a check letter, which fits the correction, and the listing already carried Spain as an alternative nationality and a Spanish passport.

    List of Changes:

    • Field Name: National ID No.
    • Changed:
      • 24558183W (Dominican Republic) to: 24558183W (Spain)

    • Registration Number: 641700 (Iran)
    • Linked to: ZANJANI, Babak Morteza

    Supplemental Information: OFAC added this entity to the SDN List on July 24, 2026 as part of the action against Babak Zanjani’s financial evasion network. The correction reclassifies ONE GROUP from a strong alias to a weak one, shown both by the quotation marks and by its move to the end of the alias list. That distinction has operational weight: OFAC carries weak aliases separately in its data files, and screening systems commonly score them lower or exclude them from primary matching, so a hit on ONE GROUP alone may now behave differently than it did before this change.

    List of Changes:

    • Field Name: AKA
    • Changed:
      • ONE GROUP (strong alias) to: “ONE GROUP” (weak alias, moved to the end of the alias list)

    Supplemental Information: The only substantive change is to the second of the three Monero addresses, where a lowercase letter l becomes the numeral 1. All 131 Tron addresses and the other two Monero addresses are unchanged. The base58 alphabet Monero uses deliberately excludes 0, O, I and lowercase l to prevent exactly this confusion, so the value as previously published could not have been a valid address.

    A caution on the source document for anyone copying these values: all three Monero addresses appear clipped in the PDF this post was prepared from, running to 89, 93 and 89 characters against the 95 characters a standard Monero address contains. Take the full values from OFAC’s XML or CSV export before loading them into a screening or blockchain analytics tool.

    List of Changes:

    • Field Name: Digital Currency Address – XMR (second address)
    • Changed:

    • Organization Type: Advocacy organization

    Supplemental Information: The State Department’s designation of the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization was implemented on March 16, 2026. This correction detaches the Arabic script rendering of the name from the primary name and attaches it to the SUDANESE ISLAMIC MOVEMENT alias instead, so the Arabic form now belongs to an alias rather than to the listed name.

    • Field Name: Arabic script name
    • Changed:

    • Party Type: individual

    Supplemental Information: Two things happen here. OFAC drops the Curacao address, which was the one entry in the listing carrying the defunct Netherlands Antilles, and it adds a Gender field of the kind OFAC has been backfilling across individual listings. Note that OFAC handled the same stale geography differently in the Netherlands Caribbean Bank entry below, where it corrected the address rather than removing it.

    List of Changes:

      • 5ta. Ave. No. 6407 esq. a 66, Miramar, Municipio Playa, La Habana, Cuba

    Supplemental Information: The correction drops Netherlands Antilles from the Willemstad address. The Netherlands Antilles was dissolved on 10 October 2010 and Curacao has been a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands since, so the address had carried a country that no longer existed for roughly sixteen years. This is worth noting for anyone maintaining country risk tables or sanctions country codes off SDN address data, since dissolved and renamed jurisdictions persist in the list until OFAC gets to them.

    Supplemental Information: The alias previously read O, ln-chun, with a lowercase letter l standing in for the capital I, and it now reads O, In-chun. Homoglyph errors of this kind survive exact match testing and are close to invisible in most sans-serif rendering, which makes them worth a look if any alias level suppression or whitelist rules were built against the old string.

    Supplemental Information: The registration number changes from 926966-0 to 962966-0, a transposition of the second and third digits. Corrections to identifiers deserve more attention than corrections to names for anyone who screens or enriches counterparties on registry numbers, because a transposed identifier does not produce a weak match. It produces no match at all, and the failure is silent.

    • National ID No.: 10100596646 (Iran)
    • Registration Number: 16691 (Iran)

    Supplemental Information: Named by Treasury among the 27 Iranian airlines designated under E.O. 13902 for operating in the aviation sector of the Iranian economy, following OFAC’s August 24, 2026 determination that E.O. 13902 applies to that sector. The carrier was founded as a subsidiary of Iran Air, itself an SDN since November 2018, and was put through Iran’s Article 44 privatization program in 2011. Published accounts disagree on whether Iran Air retained an ownership interest afterward, so screening teams evaluating 50 Percent Rule exposure should not assume the parent link was severed. Note also that OFAC’s entry gives an establishment date of 1972, while industry sources generally give 1973.

Saha is the one carrier in this group whose military ownership is visible on the face of the SDN entry: its alternate names translate to the armed forces’ air transport service, and public reporting describes it as wholly owned by the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force.

    By decision of 4 September 2026, the competent UN Sanctions Committee amended the list of persons, companies and organizations sanctioned in this context. The amendment is directly applicable in Switzerland. SECO has therefore updated SESAM (SECO Sanctions Management), the sanctions database that is authoritative for Switzerland, on 7 September 2026, and has published the update on its website.

    Financial intermediaries are required, in accordance with the provisions of the Ordinance, to implement the prohibitions, freeze the assets of the sanctioned persons, and report the affected business relationships to SECO. Reporting to SECO does not relieve a financial intermediary of the obligation to carry out additional clarifications pursuant to Art. 6 AMLA in the event of suspicion and, if such suspicion cannot be dispelled, to file a report without delay with the Money Laundering Reporting Office pursuant to Art. 9 AMLA.

    • Field Name: Passport number
      • Added: Z15105123 (second value)

    • Field Name: Name (Primary Name)

    • Field Name: UN reference number

  • The FINMA Notice:

    Updated sanctions notice: Taliban

    The State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) has published an amendment to the list of sanctioned natural persons, companies and organizations under the Ordinance of 21 March 2025 on measures against persons and organizations associated with the Taliban (SR 946.231.07).

    By decision of 27 August 2026, the competent UN Sanctions Committee amended the list of persons, companies and organizations sanctioned in this context. The amendment is directly applicable in Switzerland. SECO has therefore updated SESAM (SECO Sanctions Management), the sanctions database that is authoritative for Switzerland, on 28 August 2026, and has published the update on its website.

    Financial intermediaries are required, in accordance with the provisions of the Ordinance, to implement the prohibitions, freeze the assets of the sanctioned persons, and report the affected business relationships to SECO. Reporting to SECO does not relieve a financial intermediary of the obligation to carry out additional clarifications pursuant to Art. 6 AMLA in the event of suspicion and, if such suspicion cannot be dispelled, to file a report without delay with the Money Laundering Reporting Office pursuant to Art. 9 AMLA.

    The update:

    Ordinance on measures against certain persons and groups associated with the Taliban – Art. 3 para. 1 and 2 (Financial sanctions) and Art. 4 (Entry and transit ban). Origin: UN

    Additions:

    The following individual has been added to OFAC’s SDN List:

    OFAC Programs:

    • SDGT  Global Terrorism Sanctions Regulations, 31 C.F.R. part 594
    • IFSR  Iranian Financial Sanctions Regulations, 31 C.F.R. part 561

    TAEEDI, Reza Mohammad

    • Address: Dubai, United Arab Emirates
    • DOB: 24 Aug 1975
    • Nationality: Iran
    • Additional Sanctions Information: Subject to Secondary Sanctions
    • Gender: Male
    • Passport: P6602606
    • Alt. Passport: E96037407
    • National ID No.: 784-1975-3624749-3 (United Arab Emirates)
    • Party Type: Individual
    • Linked to: Bank Melli Iran

    Supplemental Information: Taeedi is the general manager of Bank Melli Iran’s Dubai branch. Treasury says that branch has moved billions of dollars through accounts tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF), letting the IRGC-QF and its parent organization move funds into and out of Iran and helping fund Iran-aligned proxies, including in Iraq. State’s parallel statement describes Bank Melli more broadly as a financial hub for Iran’s armed forces, naming both the IRGC-QF and the Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics as beneficiaries. OFAC designated Taeedi under E.O. 13224, as amended, for acting on Bank Melli’s behalf.

    The following entity has been added to OFAC’s SDN List:

    OFAC Program: IRAN-EO13902  Executive Order 13902

    KAMENG TRADING LIMITED

    • Address:
      • Room 701, Unit 108, 7/F, Tower B, New Mandarin Plaza, 14 Science Museum Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong, China
      • Unit 89, 3F, Yau Lee Centre, No. 45, Hoi Yuen Rd, Kwun Tong, Hong Kong, China
    • Organization Established Date: 24 Jul 2024
    • Business Registration Number: 76846373 (Hong Kong)

    Supplemental Information: Treasury ties Kameng Trading Limited to Pedram Pirouzan Exchange House, also known as Opal Exchange, an already-designated Iranian exchange house that used the Hong Kong company to launder money for Iran. State’s statement likewise describes the firm as a Hong Kong-based company that helped already-designated Iranian individuals and entities access the international financial system. OFAC designated Kameng Trading Limited under E.O. 13902 for operating in the financial sector of the Iranian economy.
