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.

Representatives for BNP and Ageas declined to comment. Fosun couldn’t immediately be reached for comment outside regular business hours. Bloomberg News reported last month that Fosun has been working with advisers to explore a sale of its Ageas stake. The Chinese conglomerate, which is backed by billionaire Guo Guangchang, has been accelerating a divestment push as it seeks to cut its debt load following a global acquisition spree. BNP’s potential move comes as Ageas pushes ahead with a contentious pursuit of a takeover of London-listed Direct Line Insurance Group Plc. The UK insurer said this week it had rejected a second takeover offer from Ageas valuing it at about £3.2 billion ($4.1 billion). Ankündigung • Mar 15
