Trump’s Department of Justice unveiled an indictment against a Turkish bank accused of running a complex, shadowy scheme to evade sanctions on America’s greatest enemy: Iran. As The Daily Mail reports:
A major Turkish bank has been criminally charged with taking part in a multibillion-dollar scheme to evade U.S. sanctions against Iran.
The charges against Halkbank, whose majority shareholder is the government of Turkey, were announced on Tuesday by federal authorities in New York…
Halkbank is accused of fraud, money laundering and violating U.S. sanctions against Iran…
The alleged scheme, which ran between 2012 and 2016, allowed Iran to spend proceeds from sales of its oil and gas on international markets – in violation of U.S. sanctions – using a complex web of front companies.
It’s nice to finally have a President willing to crack down on the machinations of terrorist states like Iran and their potential deep state allies serving in government and business around the world.
