Halkbank, recently declared a "fugitive" by prosecutors, still refuses to receive an indictment charging it with a recordbreaking money laundering scheme.
Its arraignment is slated at 11am EST today.

@CourthouseNews Halkbank's attorneys at King & Spalding requested a "limited" appearance to attack the proceedings without their client acknowledging the charges.
Prosecutors found no basis for that last night, telling the judge he can sanction them for contempt.

@CourthouseNews Also, to be clear, the Congressional inquiries into Halkbank are completely separate from the court proceedings.
The Turkish sanctions bill includes penalties for the state-run bank.
Senator Wyden, ranking member of the Finance Committee, is also probing the Halkbank scandal.

@CourthouseNews My preview article focuses on those congressional probes because it remains unclear whether Halkbank will appear in court to answer its indictment.
