Iranian Citizen Extradited to U.S. for Alleged Sanctions Violations
Reza Dindar, a 44-year-old Iranian citizen, has been extradited from Panama to the United States to face charges related to violating trade sanctions against Iran. Dindar was indicted by a grand jury in August 2014 for allegedly managing a business that procured items in the U.S. for Iranian companies, falsely claiming they were destined for China. The indictment accuses Dindar of conspiracy, smuggling, money laundering, and filing false export records. The U.S. Department of Justice, along with international partners, facilitated his arrest and extradition. Dindar is set to appear in U.S. District Court in Seattle.
