Overview

• Argentina published Resolución Conjunta 4/2025 in the Boletín Oficial, adding the group to the RePET terrorism registry with signatures from Security Minister Patricia Bullrich and Foreign Minister Gerardo Werthein.
• The designation enables financial sanctions and operational restrictions intended to limit the cartel’s activities and protect the country’s financial system.
• Authorities signaled ongoing UIF monitoring and secret judicial inquiries into suspected property purchases, high‑value goods and questionable transfers linked to the network in Argentina.
• The decision was coordinated by the foreign affairs, security and justice ministries and aligns with earlier actions by the United States, Ecuador and Paraguay.
• Bullrich publicly backed the step, President Javier Milei voiced support, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado praised the move, and Caracas has previously rejected the cartel allegations.
