An Iraqi bank faces severance from the U.S. financial system for being a conduit of terrorist financing, according to the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
FinCEN issued a finding and notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) Monday on Al-Huda Bank, alleging the bank and foreign sponsors “fuel violence that threatens the lives of U.S. and Iraqi citizens” while diverting funds that could support legitimate business, according to a press release.
