#USA #Iran #California #Lawsuit #Sanctions

The US District Court for the Southern District of California has unsealed a federal criminal complaint accusing ten Iranian nationals of conspiring to breach the Iranian Transactions and Sanctions Laws,
the Iranian Financial Sanctions Regulations and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. They are accused of being involved in a scheme to evade US sanctions on Iran by disguising over $300 million in transactions on behalf of the Iranian government over a 20-year period.
The defendants are accused of trying to defraud financial institutions by using over 70 front companies in the United States, Canada, Hong Kong, and the United Arab Emirates to facilitate the transactions. The proposal also requires the acquisition of two $25 million oil tankers,
according to sources. The sum involved in the scam is $157,332,367, and a forfeiture lawsuit has been filed seeking a money laundering penalty of $157,332,367. The defendants are thought to be outside of the United States and have yet to be apprehended, according to sources.
The offence carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison if convicted.
