The Department of Treasury's OFAC announced sanctions on 13 Venezuelan individuals on Wednesday. These individuals are allies of Venezuela's president, Nicolas Maduro. The intention of this sanction is to give a stern warning to the Venezuelan government just before the widely-protested "constituent assembly" scheduled for Sunday.
