OFAC Sanctions Individuals for Human Rights Abuses and Corruption in Iraq

OFAC designated two militia figures and two former Iraqi governors for human rights abuses and corruption that targeted persecuted religious communities in Iraq.

All property and interests in property of these individuals, as well as any entities that owned 50 percent or more by them, that are in the United States or are in the possession or control of U.S. persons, are now blocked and must be reported to OFAC. Additionally, OFAC regulations generally prohibit any dealings by U.S. persons, or within the United States, that involve these individuals, their property or interests in property.
