Désiré Asségnini Tagro, together with Gbagbo, his wife Simone and his confidants Alcide Djédjé and Pascal Affi N'Guessan , were affected by sanctions adopted by the United States on January 6, 2011 . All of his possessions were frozen and companies were not allowed to do business with him.
He and four other people were affected by UN Security Council resolution 1975 adopted on March 30, 2011 . In this he was banned from traveling and his assets were frozen.
Tagro died on April 12, 2011 in a clinic in Abidjan.
