OFAC De-Lists Yacht Formerly Belonging to Money Launderer

The Office of Foreign Assets Control this week removed a yacht from its Specially Designated National List that was sanctioned in 2019 for belonging to Saleh Assi, who was accused of money laundering and aiding a Hezbollah financier. The Malta-flagged Flying Dragon was removed from the SDN List because it no longer belongs to Assi, an OFAC spokesperson said Sept. 1.
