OFAC Removes Guatemala-Related Entries From SDN List

The Office of Foreign Assets Control on Jan. 17 deleted nine Guatemala-related entries on its Specially Designated Nationals List, including entries relating to the Guatemalan Nickel Company, also known as Compania Guatemalteca de Niquel. The entity was designated in 2022 for being a subsidiary of Russia-based Solway Investment group, which OFAC said has “exploited” Guatemalan mines for years. The agency didn’t provide more information on the reasons for the delistings.
