美国将制裁三名助长美国阿片类药物危机的芬太尼贩运者

布林肯国务卿在2023年1月30日发布的新闻声明中说：

美国坚决通过曝光贩运者并让他们没有机会接触和利用国际金融系统等方式来打击非法芬太尼贩运者。今天，我们将位于墨西哥的毒品贩运者Jose Angel Rivera Zazueta及其两名同伙列入制裁名单。这些人使用前体化学品制造芬太尼和其他非法合成药物，并将它们走私到美国。

非法合成药物对美国和其他国家的人民的健康和安全构成严重威胁。诸如芬太尼这样的源自国外的非法合成阿片类药物仍然是对美国人民最致命的毒品威胁。据美国疾控中心估计，2021年有超过10万美国人死于药物过量，而致命的药物过量有三分之二与合成阿片类药物有关。

今天的行动是举全政府之力的努力中的一环，旨在切断和瓦解为非法芬太尼供应链和其他非法药物贩运提供便利的跨国犯罪组织。

白宫国家药物管制政策办公室主任拉胡尔·古普塔（Rahul Gupta）的推特这样说道：“新闻：美国财政部根据总统的行政命令制裁芬太尼贩运者。这些行动体现了我们持续不断的努力，通过确定贩运者行动的薄弱环节和追踪其利益流向来切断非法芬太尼的整个商业供应链。”

U.S. to Sanction Three Fentanyl Traffickers Contributing to the U.S. Opioid Crisis

Secretary Blinken said in a press statement released on JANUARY 30, 2023:

The United States is determined to confront illicit fentanyl traffickers, including by exposing them and preventing them from accessing and exploiting the international financial system. Today, we are designating Mexican-based drug trafficker Jose Angel Rivera Zazueta and his two associates.  These individuals used precursor chemicals to manufacture and smuggle fentanyl and other illicit synthetic drugs into the United States.

Illicit synthetic drugs pose a grave threat to the health and security of the people of the United States and other countries.  Foreign-sourced illicit synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl, remain the deadliest drug threat to the American people.  The CDC estimates that more than 100,000 Americans died of a drug overdose in 2021, with two-thirds of fatal overdoses involving synthetic opioids.

Today’s action is part of a whole-of-government effort to disrupt and dismantle the transnational criminal organizations that facilitate the illicit fentanyl supply chain and other illicit drug trafficking.

Rahul Gupta, White House Director of National Drug Control Policy said on Twitter, " NEWS: @USTreasury sanctions fentanyl traffickers under @POTUS’ Executive Orders. These actions represent our ongoing work to disrupt the entire commercial supply chain of illicit fentanyl by identifying choke points in operations and going after profits. "
