The U.S. Treasury Department has sanctioned 15 individuals and entities, and blocked 10 ships based in Ecuador for their roles in an alleged maritime cocaine trafficking operation. The network, linked to Mexican cartels, used fishing companies as a cover to move cocaine from Ecuador's coasts to Mexico. The sanctioned individuals and entities are accused of providing logistical support to boats used to transport cocaine, generating billions of dollars annually for the organizations involved in drug trafficking.
