On 8 January 2019, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the United States Department of the Treasury imposed sanctions against Gorrín and six other Venezuelans, accusing them of being part of "a significant plot of corruption" through the use of the foreign currency exchange system. Following the announcement, Globovisión and 23 other companies were added to the Specially Designated Nationals list of OFAC. All the assets subject to the jurisdiction of the United States are frozen and American citizens are prohibited from conducting economic transactions with them.
During 2019, a presidential crisis concerning who is the legitimate head of state of Venezuela has been underway since 10 January 2019, with the nation and the world divided in support for Nicolás Maduro (de facto presidency) or the head of the National Assembly Juan Guaidó (as acting president). The Venezuelan investigative journal Armando.Info reported that Raúl Gorrín was involved in a plot to oust Maduro, that eventually lead to Guaido's call for a military uprising on 30 April 2019. According to an article of The Wall Street Journal, co-authored by Juan Forero, Gorrín met with important members of Maduro's administration to back Juan Guaidó. In exchange, the US would have the sanctions on Gorrín lifted as well as the sanctions on the defecting officials. Gorrín was chosen for his close ties to the Supreme Tribunal of Justice chief Maikel Moreno, defense minister Vladimir Padrino López and counter-intelligence chief Iván Hernández. The plot consisted in convincing the Supreme Tribunal of Justice to issue a decree to support Juan Guaidó legitimacy. During the 30 April, opposition leader Leopoldo López was released from house arrest and small group of military and police joined Guaidó, including Manuel Cristopher Figuera, the chief of the Bolivarian Intelligence Service. Nevertheless, the main goals of the uprising were not achieved and the resulting clashes that continued for various days left 5 protesters dead.
