The U.S. Department of the Treasury today designated Cesar Gastelum Serrano, a Mexican national who is a prolific cocaine supplier to Mexico’s Sinaloa Cartel, as a Specially Designated Narcotics Trafficker pursuant to the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (Kingpin Act).  The Treasury Department also today designated three of Cesar Gastelum Serrano’s brothers: Alfredo, Jaime, and Guadalupe Candelario Gastelum Serrano.  As a result of today’s action, all assets of those designated that are based in the United States or in the control of U.S. persons are frozen, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with them. Cesar Gastelum Serrano’s three brothers are being designated for providing direct support to his drug trafficking activities through their multi-country cocaine distribution network.  With the help of these brothers, Cesar Gastelum Serrano can move large quantities of cocaine by air, land, and sea across South, Central, and North America.
