The Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned the Cartel de Santa Rosa de Lima (CSRL), a Mexican cartel that derives most of its illicit revenue from oil and fuel theft operations, the Treasury said in a statement on Dec. 17.
The department said CSRL’s fuel theft operation is based in the central Mexican state of Guanajuato.
