美国财政部制裁危地马拉两大贩毒组织：指其为墨西哥两大卡特尔提供物流支持
美国财政部外国资产控制办公室（OFAC）11月13日在华盛顿宣布，制裁危地马拉的 Los Mendoza 贩毒组织与 Los Huistas 贩毒组织，指两家组织为墨西哥最大的两个毒品恐怖组织锡那罗亚卡特尔（Sinaloa Cartel）与哈利斯科新一代卡特尔（CJNG）提供支持。这两个墨西哥卡特尔去年已被特朗普政府列为外国恐怖组织（FTO）与特别指定全球恐怖分子（SDGT）。
财政部说，Los Mendoza 与 Los Huistas 控制着危地马拉与洪都拉斯、墨西哥边境沿线的战略走私通道，负责接收、储存、保护毒品并跨境转运，是锡那罗亚卡特尔与 CJNG 不可缺少的物流伙伴。打击这些关键节点，意在切断芬太尼、可卡因、甲基苯丙胺等毒品流入美国的供应链环节。
财政部长 Scott Bessent 说，这次行动揭露了在政治上有影响力的危地马拉犯罪组织与墨西哥外国恐怖组织之间的联系，这些联系让致命毒品流入美国；财政部将继续打击让锡那罗亚卡特尔与 CJNG 得以跨境贩毒、威胁美国民众安全的犯罪网络。
据财政部介绍，Los Mendoza 成立于1980年代，是危地马拉历史最久、势力最大的犯罪组织之一，以家族形式运作，在 San Marcos、Huehuetenango 与 Peten 等地为锡那罗亚卡特尔提供边境通道、秘密简易机场、仓储设施与地方保护网络，还涉及买凶杀人与洗钱。Los Huistas 自1990年代起活动，是南美可卡因经墨西哥运往美国供应链上的关键一环，与锡那罗亚卡特尔和 CJNG 都有业务联系；OFAC 曾于2022年3月18日依据第14059号行政令制裁该组织。
本次制裁依据第14059号行政令与经修订的第13224号行政令作出。美国国务院同日另行采取行动，把 Los Lorenzanas 列为外国恐怖组织与特别指定全球恐怖分子。制裁生效后，被制裁对象在美国境内或由美国人控制的全部财产与财产权益将被冻结并须向 OFAC 报告，美国人一般不得与其进行交易，违规可面临民事或刑事处罚。

Treasury Sanctions Two Guatemalan Drug Trafficking Organizations Backing Mexican Narco-Terrorist Cartels
The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced in Washington on November 13 that it has sanctioned Guatemala's Los Mendoza Drug Trafficking Organization and the Los Huistas DTO for supporting Mexico's two largest narco-terrorist groups, the Sinaloa Cartel and Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG), both of which the Trump Administration designated last year as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) and Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs).
Treasury said Los Mendoza and Los Huistas control strategic trafficking corridors along Guatemala's borders with Honduras and Mexico, facilitating the receipt, storage, protection and cross-border movement of narcotics destined for the United States and other markets, making them indispensable logistics partners for the two Mexican cartels. Targeting these facilitators disrupts critical nodes in the supply chains that move fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine and other illicit drugs.
Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent said the action exposes the ties between politically influential Guatemalan criminal organizations and Mexican foreign terrorist organizations that facilitate the flow of deadly narcotics into the United States, and that Treasury will continue to target the criminal networks that enable the Sinaloa Cartel and CJNG to traffic drugs across U.S. borders.
Founded in the 1980s, Los Mendoza is one of Guatemala's oldest and most powerful criminal organizations, a family-based group that supports the Sinaloa Cartel through border crossings, clandestine airstrips, storage facilities and protection networks in the departments of San Marcos, Huehuetenango and Peten, and is also involved in contract killings and money laundering, Treasury said. Los Huistas, active since the 1990s, is a critical link in the cocaine supply chain from South America through Mexico into the United States and was previously designated by OFAC under Executive Order 14059 on March 18, 2022.
The action was taken under Executive Order 14059 and Executive Order 13224, as amended. In a concurrent action, the Department of State is designating Los Lorenzanas as an FTO and an SDGT. As a result of the sanctions, all property and interests in property of the designated organizations in the United States or in the possession or control of U.S. persons are blocked and must be reported to OFAC, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from transactions involving them.
