Turkish Banker Conspired to Evade U.S. Sanctions
Turkish banker, Mehmet Hakan Atilla, who aided the Government of Iran in evading United States sanctions, was recently convicted following a bench trial in the Southern District of New York. Mr. Atilla was convicted of conspiracies to defraud the United States, to commit bank fraud, to commit money laundering, and to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), along with one substantive count of bank fraud.
Beginning in 1979, under the IEEPA, the U.S. President found that Iranian Government's policies constituted an extraordinary threat to national security, foreign policy, and the economy of the United States. Accordingly, the United States instituted numerous economic sanctions against Iran and Iranian entities to combat that threat. The sanctions prohibited, among other things, financial transactions involving the United States or United States persons and the Government of Iran or Iranian entities.
