Deutsche Bank, Standard Chartered Sued Over Afghanistan Dead

 

Deutsche Bank AG, Standard Chartered Plc and Danske Bank A/S were sued by the families of Americans killed and wounded during the war in Afghanistan who claim they “knowingly facilitated transfers of millions” of dollars that provided aid to terrorists in the region.

 

The banks and two money transmitters functioned as “laundromats,” allowing terrorist financiers to secretly move money and evade detection, according to the lawsuit. Transactions involving syndicate agents, operatives and fronts in countries including Afghanistan, Pakistan, Russia and the United Arab Emirates raised red flags that they were dealing with terrorist money, the suit claims.

 

“The terrorists used defendants’ laundromats to change dirty money into clean money and convert dirty foreign currency into clean U.S. dollars,” the American families and individuals said in a complaint filed Thursday in federal court in Brooklyn, New York. “Defendants knew they were aiding terrorism and yet did so anyway.

 

Deutsche Bank and Standard Chartered declined to comment. A call to Danske Bank after business hours wasn’t immediately returned.

 

The plaintiffs are civilians, members of the military and families of people killed or wounded in Afghanistan from 2011 to 2016. They claim Americans were attacked by a terrorist syndicate led by al-Qaeda and the Haqqani Network, an extreme faction of the Taliban.

I had a feeling the case was still unsolved. How convenient.

Supreme Court rules in favour of unsealing Sherman estate files

 

Trustees, beneficiaries of slain billionaire Toronto couple fought to keep documents private

 

he Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that a trove of files related to murder victims Barry and Honey Sherman be unsealed and opened to public access.

 

The unanimous decision found that trustees of the wealthy Toronto couple's estate failed to establish a major risk to their safety and privacy, and that public interest and the principle of open court proceedings require unlocking the files.

 

"In this case, the risks to privacy and physical safety cannot be said to be sufficiently serious," Justice Nicholas Kasirer wrote.

 

"The sealing orders should not have been issued. Open courts can be a source of inconvenience and embarrassment, but this discomfort is not, as a general matter, enough to overturn the strong presumption of openness."

 

Autopsy results revealed the couple died by "ligature neck compression" and police have said there were no signs of forced entry.

 

The family hired its own team of private investigators and offered up to $10 million for information that would help solve a case that shocked the city and made international headlines.

 

The killings remain unsolved and the investigation is ongoing.

Toronto Star publisher Jordan Bitove stressed the "importance of independent and trusted journalism in our country."

 

"The court made clear today a fundamental point about the principle of open court proceedings. We are pleased that the court has delivered that message powerfully," he said in a statement.
