WASHINGTON,  (Reuters) – The U.S. Treasury Department  yesterday said it imposed sanctions on 14 people and 25  companies in Colombia, Spain and the Netherlands that it said  supported the financial network of former bosses of Colombia’s  Cali cocaine cartel.  

The Treasury said the individuals and firms were discovered  to have had links to relatives of Gilberto Rodriguez Orejuela  and his brother, Miguel Rodriguez Orejuela, who are serving  U.S. prison terms for drug trafficking and money laundering. 

The action blacklists the individuals and companies as  narcotics traffickers, prohibiting Americans from doing  business with them and freezing any assets they may have under  U.S. jurisdiction, the Treasury said. The Treasury said the most prominent of the newly  sanctioned Colombians and Spaniards is Hernando Mejia Uribe, a  Colombian national who it said collaborated to hide assets  belonging to the Rodriguez Orejuela brothers.
  
The companies include property development firms in both  Colombia and Spain, the Treasury said.
