Overview
- Treasury’s OFAC designated Jimena Romina Araya Navarro, known as Rosita, accusing her of aiding Tren de Aragua and helping alleged boss Héctor “Niño Guerrero” escape Venezuela’s Tocorón prison in 2012.
- OFAC also listed Rosita’s company Global Import Solutions S.A. and Bogotá’s Maiquetía VIP Bar Restaurant tied to her former manager Eryk Manuel Landaeta, blocking their property and most U.S. transactions.
- The State Department increased its reward to up to $5 million for information leading to the arrest or conviction of alleged leader Giovanni Vicente Mosquera Serrano, who is on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list.
- Additional alleged affiliates were sanctioned, including Kenffersso Jhosue Sevilla Arteaga, Richard Jose Espinal Quintero, Noe Manases Aponte Cordova, Asdrubal Rafael Escobar Cabrera and Cheison Royer Guerrero Palma.
- The actions extend a broader U.S. campaign against the Venezuela‑origin gang, designated a foreign terrorist organization earlier this year, alongside heightened rhetoric and regional military operations targeting suspected drug trafficking.
