TITLE: United States Office of Foreign Assets Control Adds ISIS-Linked Individuals and Entities to Sanctions Designations List
BODY:
On June 22, 2026, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, designated three individuals and six entities as Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) in connection with terrorist financing activities linked to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
The designated individuals include Boukich Abdelhakim (also known as "Abu Sulayman Alholandi" and "Muhammad Babili"), a Syrian national with ties to ISIL; Miloud Abderrahmane (also known as "Ibrahim Ghazi"), a French national with secondary sanctions risk under Executive Order 13224, as amended by Executive Order 13886, and associated digital currency addresses; and Mukhtar Adamu Muhammad (also known as "Mukhtar Adamu" and "Muhammad Mukhtar"), a Nigerian national linked to ISIS-West Africa.
The designated entities comprise financial and money transfer operations across multiple jurisdictions. These include Alkaram Danismanlik Gayrimenkul (a Turkish money transfer company established on February 8, 2022); Bitcoin Exchange Agent Idlib's No.1 Coin Exchange (a Syrian cryptocurrency exchange established in 2020); Generation Currency Bureau de Change Limited and Manhattan Bureau de Change Limited (Nigerian bureau de change operations); Nine to Nine Exchange Bureau de Change Limited (a Lagos-based exchange established on August 22, 2017); and Spider Gayrimenkul ve Genel Ticaret Limited Sirketi (a Turkish money transfer company established on May 14, 2018).
All designations carry secondary sanctions risk under section 1(b) of Executive Order 13224, as amended. Financial institutions and other U.S. persons must freeze assets and refrain from conducting transactions with these individuals and entities. The designations aim to disrupt terrorist financial networks and prevent the movement of funds to ISIL-affiliated operations.
