Sparacino Pllc: U.S. Federal Court Issues Historic Ruling Permitting Anti-Terrorism Claims Against BNP Paribas to Move to Discovery Hundreds of American victims of Iran-backed terrorism, including Gold Star family members, servicemembers, and their families, obtained an important ruling in a high-profile Anti-Terrorism Act case filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against BNP Paribas, S. A . The court ruled that the plaintiffs stated a claim against BNP Paribas and allowed the lawsuit to proceed. The plaintiffs or their family members were injured in terrorist attacks that took place in Iraq and Israel. They allege that BNP Paribas did business with Iranian oil and gas companies that served as fronts for Iran'sIslamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (the "IRGC") . The plaintiffs allege that BNP Paribas facilitated hundreds of millions of dollars in transactions for Iranian customers in violation of U.S. sanctions while engaging in extraordinary efforts to help them evade U.S. counterterrorism controls. That misconduct was the basis for a criminal guilty plea by BNP Paribas for what government officials called "unprecedented," "extreme," and "years-long" "criminal support of . . . entities engaged in acts of terrorism." Indeed, BNP Paribas's guilty plea was the largest in U.S. history. The plaintiffs allege that the IRGC constructed a "terrorism machine" that systematically converted revenue from IRGC fronts in the oil and gas industry into funds used by the IRGC and its proxies to commit terrorist attacks. The plaintiffs allege that BNP Paribas's transactions for Iranian oil and gas companies fueled the IRGC's terrorism machine in the face of direct warnings and troves of publicly available information that such companies were funding terrorism.

BNP Paribas, UBS Reportedly Show Interest in HSBC’s German Wealth Unit HSBC Holdings plc (LSE:HSBA)’s sale of its German wealth-management unit is attracting initial interest from peers including BNP Paribas SA (ENXTPA:BNP) and UBS Group AG (SWX:UBSG), people familiar with the matter said, as the London-listed lender looks to streamline its global footprint. Julius Bär Gruppe AG (SWX:BAER) (Julius Baer Group Ltd.) is also among those studying the business, which could be valued at €300 million to €600 million ($324 million to $648 million) in a deal, the people said. HSBC is keen for a buyer with a global brand and existing operations in Germany for the wealth-management unit, which has about €26 billion in assets, one of the people said. KPMG is helping HSBC on the sale, the person said. Meanwhile, HSBC is working with Bank of America Corporation on the potential divestment of its German fund administration business Inka, one of the largest in the industry with about €400 billion of assets under administration, the people said, asking not to be identified as the information is private. Inka is currently being marketed to potential suitors alongside HSBC’s German custodian business and the duo could fetch several hundred million Euros in a sale, one of the people said. State Street Corp. and Universal Investment are among potential bidders that have been studying the assets, the people said. HSBC is exploring the sale of various businesses in Germany and its corporate-banking and trading activities in the country aren’t affected by the strategy review, Bloomberg News reported in April. Potential disposals would add to HSBC’s long list of exits from business activities and countries in recent years including in North America and its French retail operations, part of the efforts to sharpen its focus on core operations in Asia. Deliberations are ongoing and the potential bidders could still decide against making offers, the people said. A spokesperson for HSBC said the bank’s German wealth management, fund administration and custodian businesses are under review, and no final decisions have been made. Representatives for BNP, Julius Baer, KPMG, UBS, State Street and Universal Investment declined to comment. Ankündigung • Jun 22
