The Treasury Department on Tuesday reported OFAC sanctions actions.

• Russian judge Olesya Mendeleeva was sanctioned for her role in the arbitrary detention of Moscow city councilor and human rights defender Alexei Gorinov. Mendeleeva was designated pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13818, which builds upon and implements the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act and targets perpetrators of serious human rights abuse and corruption.
• OFAC also designated a subordinate organization of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and a Moscow-based affiliate organization of the Russian Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) and its director pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13848, the U.S. election interference authority. As affiliates of the IRGC and GRU, these actors aimed to stoke socio-political tensions and influence the U.S. electorate during the 2024 U.S. election.
