The Wall Street Journal on August 4, 2011 released the following: By Samuel Rubenfeld The U.S. Treasury Department removed narcotics trafficker designations on three brothers and nine entities tied to them, after they shed their links to a Colombian drug kingpin. The brothers, Diego Uriel Alzate Jimenez, Luis Holmes and Tulio Hernando Alzate Jimenez, were designated in October 2007 because they owned or controlled a hotel company, Turismo Hansa SA, on behalf of Colombian narcotics trafficker Juan Carlos Ramirez Abadia, also known as Chupeta, a Treasury spokeswoman said. The brothers lawyer said they executed a waiver and renunciation of all ownership, rights and title to their holding in Turismo Hamsa, according to an email from a Treasury spokeswoman, who said information available to them about the renunciation was confirmed by the Colombian Attorney Generals Office. Their ownership of the San Andres, Colombia, hotel company was the specific basis for the designation, Treasury said in the email. In addition, Treasury removed nine entities tied to the Alzate

Thursday, August 4, 2011

to Executive Orders (E.O.) 13573 and 13572 for providing services in support of, and for acting for or on behalf of Syrian President Bashar al-Asad and for acting for or on behalf of President Asads brother Mahir al-Asad. Hamsho International Group, a Syrian holding company that has approximately 20 subsidiary or affiliated companies, was also designated today pursuant to E.O.s 13573 and 13572 for being controlled by Muhammad Hamsho. E.O. 13573 targets senior officials of the Government of Syria. The U.S. imposed sanctions against President Bashar al-Asad in May 2011 by listing him in the Annex to E.O. 13573. E.O. 13572 targets Syrian officials and others responsible for human rights abuses in Syria. Mahir al-Asad was listed in the Annex to E.O. 13572 in April 2011 for the leading role he played in the Syrian regimes actions in Dara, where protesters have been killed by Syrian security forces. Muhammad Hamsho earned his fortune through his connections to regime insiders, and during the current unrest, he has cast his lot with Bashar al-Asad, Mahir alAsad and others responsible for the Syrian governments violence and intimidation against the Syrian people, said Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence David S. Cohen. The sanctions we are applying today to Hamsho and his company are the direct consequence of his actions. Hamsho is one of Syrias top businessmen and has interests in nearly every sector of the Syrian economy. He is a close business associate of Mahir al-Asad and has served as a frontman for him and a number of Asads businesses. He has provided gifts to gain the favor of senior Syrian officials and has served as a front to mask a senior Syrian officials illicit and licit financial and business transactions. Members of the Syrian business

community believe that Hamsho is a successful businessman because of his relationship to Syrian elites rather than his business acumen. In addition, during Hamshos successful bids for election to the Syrian parliament, he paid large sums of money to secure his seat. Hamsho International Group has interests in the fabrication of metal products; distribution of construction, electrical machinery, equipment, and chemicals; civil contracting for water, oil, gas, petrochemicals, buildings, and infrastructure projects; trade in telecommunication products, computers, and computer peripherals; provision of internet services; television production; ownership and management of hotels and resorts; car rental; distribution of carpets; animal farming and trade in horses; printing services; and production of ice cream. As one of the companys main shareholders, Hamsho is Chairman of the Board of Directors of Hamsho International Group and is listed as the companys Chief Executive Officer and General Manager. As a result of todays action, U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in commercial or financial transactions with todays designees and any assets they may hold subject to U.S. jurisdiction are frozen.
