U.S. Department of the Treasury Sanctions Tren de Aragua Terrorist Organization and Its ATM Network

Techub News reports that the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control today imposed sanctions on 10 targets linked to the violent foreign terrorist organization Tren de Aragua. The sanctioned network includes a group that used the ATM 'jackpotting' attack to steal millions of dollars from U.S. financial institutions. TdA engages in violent criminal activities such as drug trafficking, human trafficking, extortion, and contract killings across the Western Hemisphere.

The sanctions aim to sever the organization's financial network to protect U.S. citizens. (@USTreasury)
