U.S. Sanctions Three Individuals and Six Entities with Suspected ISIS Links, Including French National

The U.S. Treasury Department has placed sanctions on a French citizen, Miloud Abderrahmane, aged 34, who is suspected of carrying out financial dealings with members of the terrorist organization Islamic State (ISIS). The information was reported by AFP and published by News.ro.

Abderrahmane, who also uses the name Ibrahim Ghazi, appeared Monday on the website of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), which operates under the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

According to an official statement, the French national "conducted transactions with individuals known to be part of ISIS, including some based in Syria. He provided ISIS supporters with information regarding the production and use of explosives."

Two additional individuals and six organizations operating across Europe, the Middle East, and West Africa were also targeted in this round of sanctions.

The Treasury Department described those sanctioned as "key intermediaries enabling ISIS to transfer funds between its regional branches."

"ISIS continues to seek new methods and tools to finance its attacks," stated U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in the official communication.

When Washington imposes such measures, any assets the designated persons or organizations hold within the United States are frozen. American businesses and citizens are prohibited from engaging in transactions with them, or they too risk facing penalties.
