What evidence is most effective when seeking removal from the SDN List for clients in Argentina or Chile?

Successful delisting petitions require documentary evidence directly rebutting OFAC’s stated designation basis. For narcotics-related designations common in the region, evidence demonstrating severance of alleged cartel ties, legitimate business restructuring, and third-party due diligence reports proves most persuasive. Financial audits, corporate reorganization documents, and attestations from local regulatory authorities carry significant weight. Chilean and Argentine petitioners should also submit certified translations of court judgments, prosecutorial dismissals, or regulatory clearances from CNV or CMF. OFAC evaluates whether the designated person continues to pose the threat that originally justified designation.
