On 14 December, OFAC advised that 4 Turkish nationals had been added to its SDN List. It also announced the creation of the Non-SDN Menu-Based Sanctions (NS-MBS) List, and added 1 new Turkish entity to that List – the PRESIDENCY OF DEFENSE INDUSTRIES. The new NS-MBS List is said to identify persons subject to certain non-blocking menu-based sanctions that have been imposed under statutory or other authorities, including certain sanctions described in Section 235 of the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA), as implemented by Executive Order 13849, and the Ukraine Freedom Support Act of 2014, as amended by CAATSA.
