OFAC designates Cuban officials and government entities
Sanctions teams must screen new Cuban SDNs, aliases and identifiers
OFAC
·
Change
OFAC added Cuban individuals and government entities to the SDN List under EO 14404 and Global Magnitsky authorities, including DGI, MININT and Policia Nacional Revolucionaria entries.
Why it matters
The update creates an immediate screening and blocking boundary for the newly listed Cuban parties and related identifiers. Screening teams must add the direct names and aliases first, then use passport numbers, national IDs and OFAC Linked To relationships as match-resolution or escalation inputs where available.
Implications
- — Sanctions-screening teams must add the newly listed Cuban individuals and entities, including DGI, MININT and Policia Nacional Revolucionaria, to screening filters.
- — Customer-onboarding and transaction-screening teams must use the listed passport and national ID numbers for Oscar Alejandro Callejas Valcarce and Eddy Manuel Sierra Arias as match-resolution inputs.
- — Sanctions escalation teams must route OFAC Linked To relationships involving MININT and Policia Nacional Revolucionaria into related-party review rather than treating them as standalone name matches only.
