SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 20 – Iranian banker Ali
Sadr Hashemi Nejad had been on
trial, charged with money
laundering and violating US
sanctions including through a
Venezuelan infrastructure
project. It has devolved into
a show of discovery violations
by the US Attorney's Office,
echoed in another case, US
v. Delowar
Hossain, 19
Cr. 606 (SHS)
It's
been
set down for
trial: "ORDER
as to Delowar
Mohammed
Hossain: The
Court has been
advised that
the Ad Hoc
Committee on
the Resumption
of Jury Trials
has scheduled
the trial of
this matter to
commence on
Wednesday,
September 29,
2021.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY
ORDERED that:
1. The final
pretrial
conference is
adjourned from
August 2 to
September 24,
2021, at 12:00
p.m. in
Courtroom 23A;
and 2. The
trial of this
action is
scheduled for
Wednesday,
September 29,
2021, at 9:30
a.m. (Signed
by Judge
Sidney H.
Stein on
6/4/2021)."
Now on
July 20, Judge
Stein
respecting the
practice of
religion
granted Hossain
a modification
of bail
conditions, to
leave his home
at 4 am to
attend a religious
ritual at a
butcher shop
"to celebrate
Eid al-Adha,
an Islamic
holiday that
commemorates
Abraham's near
sacrifice of
one of his
sons at God's
behest." Photo

The case
