Task Force KleptoCapture

Task Force KleptoCapture is a United States Department of Justice unit established in March 2022 with the goal of enforcing sanctions on Russian oligarchs (i.e. "kleptocrats") in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Background[edit]

President Joe Biden announced the effort during the 2022 State of the Union Address. This team was put together to specifically target Russian oligarchs. This team was made up of officials from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, United States Marshals Service, Internal Revenue Service, United States Postal Inspection Service, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and United States Secret Service. The main goal of the task force is to impose the sanctions set against these Russian individuals to freeze and seize the assets that the U.S. government claimed were proceeds of their illegal involvement with the Russian government and the invasion of Ukraine.^[4]
