# OFAC designates Delcy Rodríguez as Maduro inner-circle SDN Date: 2018 ## The fact On 25 September 2018 the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control designated Delcy Eloína Rodríguez Gómez, then executive vice-president of Venezuela, under E.O. 13692, adding RODRIGUEZ GOMEZ, Delcy Eloina to the SDN list with [Cilia Flores](/people/cilia-flores), Vladimir Padrino López, and [Jorge Rodríguez](/people/jorge-rodriguez). Treasury’s same-day release recorded the 14 June 2018 vice-presidency and stated that [Maduro](/people/nicolas-maduro) had given her and her brother senior positions to maintain power. She did not sit as OFAC. ## Context She had been vice-president since 14 June 2018. Neighbouring 5 January 2026 oath is a later child. 14 June 2018 appointment is parent. 1 April 2026 lift is a later child. Keep OFAC designates Delcy Rodríguez as Maduro inner-circle SDN on 2018-09-25 separate from neighbouring 14 June 2018 vice-presidency, 25 September 2018 OFAC SDN, 3 January 2026 capture, 5 January 2026 oath, and 1 April 2026 delisting. The executive vice-president of Venezuela, later acting president by TSJ order, can speak for administrative continuity and for oil licences. She does not sit as every SEBIN officer, as [Cabello](/people/diosdado-cabello)’s interior ministry, as OFAC, or as every PDVSA invoice. Nicolás Maduro is the live captured president; this run does not mint a cleaner twin. ## Evidence and sources U.S. Department of the Treasury carries the official instrument or communique. CNN records the same dated act independently. ## Significance The path is Maduro-system enforcement: a completed inner-circle designation of the sitting vice-president. ## What is established and what is not Established: OFAC added her to the SDN list on 25 September 2018; Treasury named the 14 June 2018 vice-presidency in the same release. Not established: A unique later frozen-asset integer, or that the 2018 listing is the same instrument as the 2026 delisting. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. She held the vice-presidency named in the release. She did not write the SDN.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies OFAC designates Delcy Rodríguez as Maduro inner-circle SDN, not a later speech about OFAC designates Delcy Rodríguez as Maduro inner-circle SDN. Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. OFAC designates Delcy Rodríguez as Maduro inner-circle SDN on 2018-09-25 is not a licence to treat every later U.S. Department of the Treasury communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average OFAC designates Delcy Rodríguez as Maduro inner-circle SDN into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to Treasury designated. She held the vice-presidency named in the release. She did not write the SDN. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series. ## People - Delcy Rodríguez: https://factrail.ai/people/delcy-rodriguez ## Drivers - Delcy Maduro-system enforcer and encargada continuity: https://factrail.ai/drivers/delcy-maduro-system-enforcer ## Sources - https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/25/politics/us-venezuela-sanctions-maduro-wife/index.html - https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sm495 ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/ve-delcy-ofac-2018
