OFAC removes five Venezuela SDN entries for Jorge Jesus Rodriguez Gomez

What's on the official record

14 October — five SDN deletions in the Venezuela program.

On 14 October 2026, the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) published "Venezuela-related Designation Removal" on its recent-actions page at https://ofac.treasury.gov/recent-actions/20261014. The page lists five deletions from the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List, and each deletion is the same individual recorded under a different name-field variant: Jorge Jesus Rodriguez Gomez, also listed as Jorge Rodriguez, Jorge J. Rodriguez Gomez, Jorge J., Rodriguez Gomez, and Jorge Jesus, Rodriguez Gomez. Every entry carries the same identifiers — El Valle, Libertador, Capital District, Venezuela; DOB 09 Nov 1965; citizen Venezuela; Gender Male; Cedula No. 6823952 (Venezuela) — and each is tagged (individual) [VENEZUELA]. The page cites no Executive Order for this action. OFAC also reports "Unrelated Administrative List Changes: None."

Assessment

For a sanctions or trade-finance committee, the record is a five-line removal of a single Venezuela-program individual whose SDN entries differed only in name spelling. It lets the committee verify whether any screening hit resolves to Jorge Jesus Rodriguez Gomez under one of the deleted variants, and decide whether to bank, enhance diligence, or hold a pending transaction matched against those entries. It supplies the identifiers — Cedula No. 6823952 and a Capital District address — to confirm a match before acting.

For an owner or operating executive, the record names one individual removed from the Venezuela SDN list, with a Cedula number and a Capital District address attached. It lets the executive check whether any counterparty or party record they hold matches the listed identifiers, and decide whether a prior screen that flagged this name now clears before a buyer or lender checks. It does not by itself supply a program-wide change.

What would change this call

This call would change if OFAC issues a related Venezuela general license or FAQ, adds a new designation that reverses or supersedes this removal, or republishes the Venezuela program with additional names or identifiers.
