OFAC Attorney in Miami, Florida

What Is the OFAC List?

The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), which is part of the U.S. Department of Treasury, regulates and enforces U.S. economic and trade sanctions involving target individuals, entities and foreign countries. Due to the ever-shifting governmental priorities and foreign policies, the definition of real or perceived threats to national security or the U.S. economy is constantly changing —making individuals vulnerable to serious criminal penalties and economic sanctions which may include fines and asset freezing.

If you, your business or a loved one is currently blacklisted by the OFAC, our Miami federal crimes lawyers at Jeffrey S. Weiner, P.A. are committed to helping you get your name or that of your business removed from the list and your life back on the right track. We apply our comprehensive understanding and experience dealing with OFAC to unfreeze funds related to the OFAC sanctions program.

OFAC Violations

OFAC maintains an extensive list of more than 6,000 targeted individuals, groups, and organizations known as the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN List). In addition, these sanctions apply to specific countries, including Russia, North Korea, Iran, Syria, Ukraine, Cuba, and many others.

According to the agency, prohibited transactions include trade or other financial dealings that U.S. individuals cannot engage in unless given authority by the OFAC or obtain an exemption. Since national interests and sanctions programs are constantly changing, a person or entity could violate current OFAC sanctions without knowingly doing so.
