The agency didn’t release more information about the delistings. Several were originally designated for their involvement in Venezuela-related sanctions evasion, including Alessandro Bazzoni, an Italian citizen who OFAC said helped buy and sell oil from state-owned oil company Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A.
