Iran Sanctions Prosecution in SDNY Against Bahadorifar, As EDNY Pursues Afrasiabi

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN

SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 2 –  For violating Iran sanctions and money laundering, Niloufar Bahadorifar has been charged in an indictment unsealed on July 1. 

  On July 2, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Ronnie Abrams granted Bahadorifar pre-trial release on $250,000 Personal Recognizance Bond and no contact with known victims or witnesses except Saman Mehdizadeh.   

The indictment says Bahadorifar a/k/a Nellie "and others known and unknown would and did provide and cause others to provide services to Iran and to the Government of Iran from the US and by US persons.

He is also charged with bank fraud and structuring.    

This comes as the EDNY pursues a FARA violation case against Kaveh Afrasiabi, who replies that he was openly paid by Iran's Mission to the UN, through the UN Federal Credit Union.

Inner City Press, covering both cases, has asked the UN to explain these payments, but so far the UN has refused to answer or allow access.

 This case is US v. Bahadorifar, 21-cr-430 (Abrams)
