OFAC SANCTIONS CJNG-RUN TIMESHARE FRAUD NETWORK

On 2 March, OFAC advised that it had sanctioned 8 Mexican companies linked to timeshare fraud on behalf of the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG). CJNG is a violent Mexico-based organisation that traffics a significant proportion of the illicit fentanyl and other deadly drugs that enter the US.  This action is the result of a collaboration between the US and Mexico.  It says that in tourist destinations such as Puerto Vallarta, CJNG has become heavily engaged in timeshare fraud, which often targets US citizens.
