WASHINGTON D.C.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A dual Iranian-U.S. citizen was arrested Friday in Chicago, on criminal charges related to his alleged conspiracy to illegally export U.S. goods, technology and services to Iran, officials announced Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"woman<\/a>The users included the government of Iran, in violation of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).<\/span><\/p>\n

According to court documents, Kambiz Attar Kashani, 44, conspired to illegally export goods and technology to the Central Bank of Iran (CBI), officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cKashani and his co-conspirators procured U.S.-origin goods and information technology for ultimate use in Iran, including for use by the Government of Iran,\u201d said Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department\u2019s National Security Division. \u201cKashani repeatedly lied to numerous U.S. companies to conceal his intention to ship items to Iran, allowing him to illegally obtain information technology for use by the CBI and other Iranian entities. “<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cAs alleged, Kashani orchestrated an elaborate scheme to evade U.S. export laws and use the U.S. financial system in procuring U.S. electronic equipment and technology for the CBI, which has been designated by the United States government as acting for or on behalf of terrorist organizations,\u201d said U.S. Attorney Breon Peace for the Eastern District of New York. \u201cThe defendant allegedly used two United Arab Emirates companies as fronts to procure items from multiple U.S. technology companies, including a company in Brooklyn.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"According to the U.S. government, CBI has helped Lebanese Hizballah, a terrorist organization, and to the Qods Force of Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC). <\/span><\/p>\n

The IRGC is a branch of the Iranian armed forces and represents the primary means of the Government of Iran to direct and implement its global terrorism campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kashani allegedly perpetrated the illegal transshipping scheme through two separate United Arab Emirates (UAE) front companies for which he acts as principal. <\/span><\/p>\n

From around February 2019 through June 2021, Kashani and his co-conspirators used the two UAE companies to procure electronic goods and technology from multiple U.S. technology companies, including a company located in Brooklyn, New York.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kashani is charged with one count of conspiracy to unlawfully export goods to Iran. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kashani is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.<\/span><\/p>\n

The FBI is investigating the case.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
