Iran Should Pay $202 Million to Iraq Victimโ€™s Family: U.S. Judge

 

The Iranian government should pay $202 million to the family of an Iraqi contractor working with the U.S. who was tortured and murdered in 2006 by a Tehran-backed group, a federal magistrate in New York recommended.

 

The victimโ€™s widow and sons, now living in Idaho, are entitled to compensation because of the pain and suffering they endured after the contractor was tortured for five days and killed in Baghdad, U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael Harvey said in a report on Monday in Manhattan.

 

Identified in the suit as โ€œS.F.,โ€ the victim owned a general contracting company that was working on U.S. contracts valued at $80 million at the time of his death, the report said.

 

Family members, none of whom are identified by name in the complaint, sued Iran over the killing in 2018. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ruled in December that Iran was liable for the death of S.F., and sheโ€™ll weigh the magistrate judgeโ€™s recommendation in setting damages.

UBS: Corporate Rap Sheet

 

UBS, the result of the 1998 marriage of two giant Swiss banks and the subsequent acquisition of the U.S. brokerage house PaineWebber, has been embroiled in a series of recent scandals involving its role in helping wealthy Americans evade taxes, its role in the manipulation of the LIBOR interest rate index and its failure to prevent one of its traders from running up more than $2 billion in losses. In 2015 it had to plead guilty to a criminal charge in the U.S. The company dates back to the 1854 founding of Basler Bankverein, which later became the Swiss Bank Corporation. Its rival Union Bank of Switzerland was formed in 1912 through the merger of two smaller banks. The banks had their share of earlier scandals, including a 1988 controversy over money laundering that embroiled both institutions as well as the other big Swiss bank, Credit Suisse. The banks were reported to have been used by a Turkish-Lebanese drug ring to launder some $1 billion in cash, which was said to have arrived in suitcases at Zurich airport and taken directly to the banks (see Wall Street Journal, November 7 and 9, 1988). The banks denied doing anything wrong.
