The agency didn’t release more information about the delistings. Several were originally designated for their involvement in Venezuela-related sanctions evasion, including Alessandro Bazzoni, an Italian citizen who OFAC said helped buy and sell oil from state-owned oil company Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. Others have ties to money laundering organizations or cartels, including Gipsy Meza Cazares, who OFAC said is an adult child of the leader of a money laundering organization that operates throughout Mexico and in California.
