The United States imposed sanctions on Wednesday against five alleged members and associates of the Eurasian crime group the US Government has been calling the “Brothers' Circle." The men were identified as being members of or providing assistance to transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), in accordance with the Executive Order (E.O.) 13581.
This designation means that the US is "freezing any assets the designated persons may have within the jurisdiction of the United States and prohibiting any transactions with them by U.S. persons." TCOs and their members and associates are identified "by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary of State."
