American Shipper online website is circulating that the Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the US Government has published the name of Dominican senator Felix Ramon Bautista Rosario (PLD-San Juan de la Maguana), for having been placed on its Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List of the US Department of State. Bautista is blocked, according to the Federal Register, because he is “responsible for or complicit in, or has directly or indirectly engaged in, corruption.”

Named to the list because of their purported ties to Rosario were businesses based in the Dominican Republic: Constructora Hadom , Constructora Rofi, Inmobiliaria Rofi, Seymeh Ingenieria and Soluciones Electricas y Mecanicas Hadom SRL.

All property and interests in property subject to U.S. jurisdiction of these people are blocked, and U.S. citizens generally are prohibited from engaging in transactions with them. Additional information on property and interests subject to U.S. jurisdictions is available on OFAC’s website.
