一名悉尼男子被指控非法向受制裁的伊朗银行运送649K美元, A Sydney man charged with illegally sending $649K to sanctioned Iranian banks, amid heightened Australia-Iran tensions after diplomatic expulsion.

一名34岁的悉尼男子被指控在澳大利亚批准的543笔国际转账中向伊朗银行转移649 308美元,这违反了金融制裁法,尽管他经营的是合法的汇款业务。 A 34-year-old Sydney man has been charged with transferring $649,308 across 543 international transfers to Iranian banks sanctioned by Australia, violating financial sanctions laws despite running a legitimate remittance business. 澳大利亚联邦警察在澳大利亚制裁办公室和AUSTRAC报告后于7月执行搜查令,导致他的业务暂停一年。 The Australian Federal Police executed a search warrant in July following reports from the Australian Sanctions Office and AUSTRAC, leading to the suspension of his business for one year. 他面临长达10年的监禁或最高200万美元的罚款。 He faces up to 10 years in prison or a fine of up to $2 million. 继澳大利亚于8月将伊朗大使驱逐出境之后,澳大利亚又于8月将伊朗与对墨尔本犹太会堂的反犹太人纵火攻击和对二战以来第一次此类外交驱逐加以标记的悉尼事件联系起来。 The case follows Australia’s expulsion of Iran’s ambassador in August after intelligence linked Iran to anti-Semitic arson attacks on a Melbourne synagogue and a Sydney deli—marking the first such diplomatic expulsion since World War II.
