TREASURY SANCTIONS SENIOR HOUTHI MILITARY OFFICER OVERSEEING GROUP’S SEIZURE OF
OPPOSITION PROPERTY


November 18, 2021

WASHINGTON — Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign
Assets Control (OFAC) is designating senior Houthi military officer Saleh Mesfer
Alshaer, commander of the Houthi-controlled military logistics support
organization, whom Houthi-controlled courts have designated as the “judicial
custodian” of assets confiscated from opponents of the Houthis.  Alshaer has
overseen the Houthis’ seizure of property in Yemen valued at greater than 100
million dollars, using a variety of unlawful tactics, including extortion. This
campaign of extortion, which was used to fund the Houthi military effort, is yet
another example of Houthi actions fueling instability and increasing the already
extraordinary suffering of the Yemeni people.  Like the continuing Houthi
offensive against Marib, where millions of Yemenis displaced by years of war
have fled for refuge, these actions contribute to the severity of the
humanitarian situation in Yemen.

“Saleh Mesfer Alshaer is the principal Houthi military officer responsible for
pilfering assets from Yemeni citizens and directing a campaign of seizures that
further prolongs the ongoing conflict in Yemen by obstructing its resolution,”
said Director of the Office of Foreign Assets Control Andrea M. Gacki.  “The
United States remains committed to exposing those who seek to exacerbate the
crisis in Yemen by denying them access to the global financial system.”

Today’s action is being taken pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13611, which
blocks property of persons threatening the peace, security, or stability of
Yemen.  The United States is taking this action in support of Alshaer’s
designation by the United Nations Security Council’s Yemen Sanctions Committee.


BASIS FOR DESIGNATION

Major General Saleh Mesfer Alshaer, a close ally of Houthi leader Abdul Malik
al-Houthi, serves as both the commander of the Houthi-controlled military
logistics support organization, where he assisted the Houthis in acquiring
smuggled weapons, as well as the officer responsible for managing all assets and
funds confiscated by the Houthis.  Alshaer has confiscated assets from Yemeni
citizens by extorting and detaining those who do not comply.  Alshaer has
unlawfully forced banks, companies, and money exchange businesses to perform
actions such as withdrawals and identification of customer assets.  Those who
have defied Alshaer have been detained and held indefinitely by the
Houthi-controlled “National Security Bureau” and have been falsely labeled as
spies.

During the first seven months of 2019, Alshaer oversaw the seizure of dozens of
companies affiliated with anti-Houthi figures residing abroad, with assets
valued at more than 100 million dollars.  Alshaer oversaw the diversion and
confiscation of funds from 35 Yemeni parliamentarians who were not aligned with
the Houthis, which was ordered by the Houthi-controlled Specialized Criminal
Court on September 14, 2019.  These confiscated funds included revenues from
projects funded by international organizations inside Yemen.  Alshaer’s cronies
have also intervened in multiple hospitals in the capital, Sana’a, replacing
directors and staff, and appropriating more than half of those revenues.  This
pattern of coercion and extortion is intended to benefit only one group — the
Houthis — and it demonstrates that they are engaged in the same types of
activities they blame on their opponents.

Saleh Mesfer Alshaer is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13611 for having
engaged in acts that directly or indirectly threaten the peace, security, or
stability of Yemen, such as acts that obstruct the implementation of the
agreement of November 23, 2011, between the Government of Yemen and those in
opposition to it, which provides for a peaceful transition of power in Yemen, or
that obstruct the political process in Yemen.  The United States is taking this
action in support of Alshaer’s designation by the UN Security Council’s Yemen
Sanctions Committee on November 9, 2021.


SANCTIONS IMPLICATIONS

As a result of today’s actions, all property and interests in property of the
person designated that are in the United States or in the possession or control
of U.S. persons are blocked and must be reported to OFAC.  In addition, any
entities that are owned, directly or indirectly, 50 percent or more by one or
more blocked persons are also blocked.  Unless authorized by a general or
specific license issued by OFAC, or otherwise exempt, OFAC’s regulations
generally prohibit all transactions by U.S. persons or within (or transiting)
the United States that involve any property or interests in property of
designated or otherwise blocked persons.  The prohibitions include the making of
any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the
benefit of any blocked person or the receipt of any contribution or provision of
funds, goods, or services from any such person.
