Why this designation matters

Designations in this sector typically target senior officers of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB), the Bolivarian National Guard (GNB), the Directorate of Military Counterintelligence (DGCIM), or the Bolivarian Intelligence Service (SEBIN) — institutions that the US Treasury identifies as enabling regime repression. Executive Order 13850, signed in 2018, targets persons operating in the gold sector of the Venezuelan economy and those responsible for Venezuela's deepening humanitarian crisis, including misuse of government programs and corruption in the public sector.
