1809 charsUS Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control Settles with Pegasus Worldwide Logistics and Issues International Criminal Court Licenses
On October 9, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced a settlement with Pegasus Worldwide Logistics, a freight forwarding firm specialising in cross-border shipments. Pegasus agreed to remit $175,015 to settle potential civil liability for four apparent violations of the Illicit Drug Trafficking Sanctions Regulations and six apparent violations of the Reporting, Procedures and Penalties Regulations.
Between September 2023 and February 2024, Pegasus facilitated the importation of machinery supplied by a designated company, thereby dealing in blocked property. Additionally, Pegasus failed to respond fully to an OFAC subpoena for six months. OFAC determined that Pegasus's conduct was non-egregious and not voluntarily disclosed, which informed the settlement amount.
Concurrently, OFAC issued four International Criminal Court-related General Licenses: General License 13 authorises certain transactions involving the International Criminal Court; General License 14 authorises transactions related to telecommunications and enterprise software involving the International Criminal Court; General License 15 authorises transactions related to pension payments involving the International Criminal Court; and General License 16 authorises certain transactions related to International Criminal Court detainees.
OFAC also updated its Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN) List by adding the International Criminal Court (located at Oude Waalsdorperweg 10, 2597 AK, The Hague, Netherlands) and removing HTET, Theint Win, a Burmese national, from the list.
These actions reflect OFAC's ongoing enforcement of sanctions compliance and its authorisation of specific transactions related to international criminal justice mechanisms.
