“OFAC has no jurisdiction outside the US because the Treasury Department has none. Any attempt at enforcement would be thrown out of Federal court in an instant. The penalties you are describing apply to American travelers to Cuba who attempt to bring Cuban goods back to the US. There are also penalties for US citizens who attempt to bring Cuban goods into the US from other countries as well, but there is still no law against simple possession and use once imported.”
Are you sure?
Then how about USA federal agents travelling to some Far East countries and actively searching for US citizens fornicating with underage prostitutes there(which is a COMPLETELY LEGAL act there)? Then these US Federal agents kidnap their victim to USA where he is charged and convicted.
You now finally have in USA nothing other then a political regime and Police State.
I would say that any US agents acting in the manner you describe would be exceeding their jurisdiction, unless such were granted by an international accord or treaty - which might be possible in this case. I don’t know enough about the subject to hazard a guess. Thankfully, I only smoke cigars and have researched that subject only insofar as affects US travelers abroad who buy Cuban goods outside of Cuba.
