The U.S. Treasury Department, through the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), has officially removed Francisco D’Agostino from its Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List, concluding that his companies had no involvement with the government of Nicolás Maduro. 

As reported by media oulets, the reversal follows a detailed investigation that discredited the initial reasons for the sanctions.

D’Agostino was originally sanctioned in 2021 along with several of his firms, including Elemento Oil & Gas, Element Capital Advisor Limited, and D’Agostino and Company. The sanctions were based on unverified claims of facilitating oil transactions that allegedly supported the Venezuelan regime, resulting in frozen assets and restricted access to U.S. financial systems.
