According to BeInCrypto, the US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has sanctioned three individuals and two charities for allegedly facilitating the movement of funds to Hamas through cryptocurrency. The sanctioned entities include Association Baraka and Ensemble C Mieux, identified as charitable organizations involved in the transfer.
The US government alleges that the designated individuals moved approximately $2 million to Hamas using crypto transactions routed through these charities. These actions occurred prior to recent legal developments involving U.S. authorities.
In related action, the Justice Department (DOJ) unsealed charges against one of the individuals named al-Zaq and announced six arrests connected to the investigation. The sanctions reflect efforts to address financial channels used to support prohibited activities.
