More passports, the report claims, are still in the pipeline.
The scandal exploded into public view after a quiet update to U.S. Treasury sanctions on February 19-20, 2026. The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) added a Kenyan passport — number AK1586127 — to the profile of Algoney Hamdan Dagalo Musa, Hemedti’s youngest brother (born August 7, 1990, in Nyala North, Sudan).
