One of the tenants of Republican nominee Donald Trump's real estate company
was an Iranian bank that U.S. authorities have tied to terrorist activity
and Iran's nuclear program, according to a report Monday from the
International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and the Center for
Public Integrity.
Bank Melli was an existing tenant in the General Motors building when Trump
bought the Manhattan office tower in 1998 and continued to rent the space
until 2003, according to the ICIJ report.
In 1999, the U.S. Treasury Department designated Bank Melli as being "owned
or controlled by the government of Iran." According to a Treasury Department
fact sheet, between 2002 and 2006 — a period that includes time as one of
Trump's tenants — the bank sent at least $100 million to a branch of the
Iranian Revolutionary Guard that supports terrorist organizations including
Hezbollah, Hamas and the Afghan Taliban.
In 2007, when the bank was no longer a Trump tenant, U.S. authorities froze
its assets under the existing sanctions for its alleged support of terrorist
activities and for acting as a "financial conduit" in the purchase of "
sensitive materials for Iran's nuclear and missile programs." |
