The U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has sanctioned Juan Carlos Bañuelos Ramirez and Gerardo Rivera Ibarra, leaders of the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG) for producing and trafficking illicit fentanyl into the U.S. Two Mexican companies, Fornely Lab S.A. de C.V. and Inmobiliaria Universal Déjà Vu S.A. de C.V., have also been sanctioned.
Concretely, The Treasury Department alleges Bañuelos "launders money, procures precursor chemicals, and oversees production labs within Mexico" while Rivera Ibarra is accused of "supplying fentanyl, methamphetamine, and cocaine to the United States."
