$15m fine plus $2m Criminal Penalty for Violations of Iranian Sanctions
6 February 2010

The United States continues to push its "take no prisoners" policy with respect to those who violate its Iranian sanctions. Look carefully at the case of an aviation company slapped with $15m and $2m penalties for selling airliners to the Islamic Republic*. If you are a US bank, do not allow your clients to move money into, or out of, Iran, using third-parties. if the client is caught, the fines and potential indictments could ruin him, and subject you to possible reputation damage. This is serious; read the case details below.
