Over the past month, the US Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) has sanctioned 84 new entities while removing 7 others. This report focuses exclusively on legal entities (companies, organizations, financial institutions, and corporate structures) and excludes individuals and maritime vessels to isolate structural enforcement trends.

The two charts below draw on OFAC data as of 01 July 2026. The first tracks the volume of distinct newly designated entities per calendar month since January 2025. The second breaks down the primary country distribution of entities added during June 2026, revealing some shifts in geographic targeting.

New Designations per Month — Jan 2025 to Jun 2026

Overall designation volume experienced a slight cooldown, dropping to 84 new entities from May’s 97 (see last month's report). However, looking at net additions alone hides the month's most interesting update - the removal of several Turkish corporate entries.

OFAC delisted 7 distinct Turkish industrial and automation firms (including AYTT CNC, Hidropark Hidrolik, and Megasan Elektronik). All 7 were previously targeted under Executive Order 14024 for carrying "Secondary Sanctions Risk" related to Russia.

Country Breakdown — June 2026

While China remains the top primary location with 15 designations, its relative share has dropped significantly compared to last month. Instead, the enforcement spotlight shifted to Western Europe and the Caribbean, with the United Kingdom and Cuba surging to tie for the #2 spot with 11 entities each.

A closer look at the UK data reveals that this is a highly targeted sniper shot at a single network. 11 out of 12 UK entities added this month belongs to a Transnational Criminal Organization (TCO) network explicitly flagged as "Owned or Controlled By: KONG, Ka On."

Analysis of Network Designations

The 11 of 12 newly designated entities in the United Kingdom demonstrate a high concentration within a single corporate network under the Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCO) program. These 11 corporate structures are explicitly listed by OFAC as "Owned or Controlled By: KONG, Ka On." Their registered business activities span several consumer and commercial sectors within London:

  • Hospitality & Dining: Charco Charco Holborn Limited and Mingmen London Ltd (registered for restaurant and mobile food service activities).
  • Real Estate: Terra Cotta Warriors Isle of Dogs Ltd (real estate activities with own or leased property) and Chasca London Limited (real estate activities on a fee or contract basis).
  • Entertainment & Tech: DTX Winners Club Limited (gambling and betting activities) alongside Rocket Sandbox Ltd (computer programming activities).

This data illustrates an enforcement pattern where TCO regulations are applied to corporate infrastructure registered within Western jurisdictions across retail, tech, and service sectors rather than traditional high-risk industries.

What this means

A newly designated company rarely operates in isolation. It has suppliers, customers, joint venture partners, and affiliated businesses that won't appear on any sanctions list, but who are now exposed. Lazlo Intelligence traces those company-to-company links from public sources: partnership announcements, corporate filings, and commercial relationships documented across the open web.
