WASHINGTON, February 10, 2026 — The U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control added two individuals, four companies and two vessels to its Specially Designated Nationals List in a counterterrorism action tied to Hizballah and Hizballah-linked financial activity.
The newly listed individuals are Andrey Viktorovich Borisov, a Russian national linked to Hizballah, and Mohamed Nayef Maged, a Lebanese national linked to Al-Qard Al-Hassan Association. Both entries state they are subject to secondary sanctions under the Hizballah Financial Sanctions Regulations and section 1(b) of Executive Order 13224, as amended.
The entities added to the SDN List are Brilliance Maritime Ventures S.A. in Panama; Jood SARL in Lebanon; Platinum Group International Dis Ticaret Limited Sirketi in Turkey; and Sea Surf Shipping Limited in Turkey.
