The designation of Goldpharma as a foreign narcotics trafficker by the Office of Foreign Assets Control is the latest move by the Trump administration to address the nation’s opioid epidemic. Buenos Aires-based Goldpharma, which operates through a network of pharmacy websites, allegedly sells legitimate and illicit opioids, including Oxycodone, without the need for a prescription, according to the Treasury Department. It sells a vast majority of the illicit opioids to U.S. customers, the Treasury said.
The Treasury also imposed sanctions on eight Argentines for their alleged roles in the Goldpharma network. Five of them were indicted in September in a federal court in Wisconsin for allegedly distributing opioids through the internet, according to court records. The other three were designated for their involvement in Goldpharma’s money-laundering activities, according to the Treasury.
Sixteen entities owned or controlled by the members of Goldpharma also have been blacklisted, including seven U.S. companies. Four condominiums in the Miami area with ties to one of the U.S. entities also have been blocked, the Treasury said.
