SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 5 – In 2018
Virginia-based Reed
International sought a Private
Security Company licence by
posting a $300,000 bond with
the Afghanistan International
Bank.
Now they can't
get it back, and can't operate
under Taliban control. They
sued
AIB.
On April 5, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Edgardo Ramos held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
The lawyer
for Reed was emphasizing the
dangers in Afghanistan, saying
that Taliban are on sanctions
lists as terrorists. AIB is,
not surprisingly, saying the
US courts have no jurisdition
over it.
In 2021 another
case was filed against AIB, by
Olive Group North America LLC
and other. On May 19 Judge
Ramos held a hearing, also
covered by Inner City Press,
and asked about motions to
change parties' names. The
plaintiffs are now under New
Constellis Holdings. But the
claims are similar.
This case is, for
now, Olive Group North America
LLC et al v. Afghanistan
International Bank,
21-cv-10836 (Ramos)
The earlier case
is Reed International, Inc. v.
Afghanistan International
Bank, 21-cv-10626 (Ramos)
