Treasury Pressures Illegitimate Maduro Regime by Identifying Blocked
National Airline

*Action to Enhance Compliance with Broad Venezuela Sanctions Program*

 Washington – The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign
Assets Control (OFAC) today identified the Venezuelan state-owned airline
Consorcio Venezolano de Industrias Aeronauticas y Servicios Aereos, S.A.
(CONVIASA) as subject to sanctions as part of the Government of Venezuela,
pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13884.  Today’s action also identifies
the CONVIASA fleet of aircraft as blocked property of the Government of
Venezuela pursuant to E.O. 13884.  Conviasa and its fleet have been blocked
since the issuance of E.O. 13884 of August 5, 2019, and today they have
been added to the OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals List to ensure
strengthened compliance with U.S. sanctions.

“The illegitimate Maduro regime relies on the Venezuelan state-owned
airline CONVIASA to shuttle corrupt regime officials around the world to
fuel support for its anti-democratic efforts,” said Secretary Steven T.
Mnuchin. “The Trump Administration will not allow Maduro and his proxies to
continue stealing from the Venezuelan people and abusing state-owned assets
to advance their own corrupt and destabilizing activities.”

CONVIASA operates as a commercial airline based in Caracas, Venezuela,
flying both domestic routes as well as providing service to select
international locations.  This action does not prevent the ability of the
Venezuelan people to travel, as they can continue to travel on various
other carriers not subject to OFAC sanctions.  Rather, this action is
intended to curtail the Maduro regime’s misuse of the airline.  For
instance, the Maduro regime has commandeered CONVIASA’s aircraft to promote
its own political agenda, including shuttling regime officials to countries
such as North Korea, Cuba, and Iran.

The following CONVIASA aircraft are blocked property of the Government of
Venezuela.
