RIGHT ON!: Court rules U.S. can seize Manhattan skyscraper from a sanctions-violating Iranian “charity.”
A New York jury has ruled that the U.S. government can seize a Manhattan skyscraper worth as much as $1 billion from an Iranian-American charitable foundation accused of violating sanctions against Iran.
The U.S. federal court on June 29 ruled that Alavi Foundation, the majority owner of the 36-story office building at 650 Fifth Ave., knew and helped hide the fact that the building’s 40 percent partner, Assa Corp., was a front for the Iranian government.
Acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Joon H. Kim said the tower “secretly served as a front for the Iranian government and as a gateway for millions of dollars to be funneled to Iran in clear violation of U.S. sanctions laws.”
Remember, Obama basically agreed to let the ayatollahs have a nuclear bomb. Don’t let CNN and other fake news mongers tell you otherwise.
