美国财政部制裁希腊与巴拿马律所：指其多年为伊朗航运网络设立空壳公司
华盛顿——美国财政部10月21日宣布制裁在希腊与巴拿马设有机构的律师事务所 Karnakis & Karnakis，指其多年来为伊朗航运网络提供法律协助。美国国务院发言人 Tommy Pigott 表示，该所设立空壳公司，掩盖运输伊朗石油、石化产品与钢铁船只的真实船东，相关网络售油收益流向伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队圣城旅与胡塞武装。财政部长 Scott Bessent 表示，无论是在海上非法转运石油，还是坐在律所办公室里，只要支持伊朗政权，美方都会找到并制裁。该所尚未回应置评请求。财政部同日还制裁了新加坡与阿联酋的航运代理。
US Sanctions Greece- and Panama-Based Law Firm Over Aid to Iranian Shipping Networks
WASHINGTON — The US Treasury Department on October 21 imposed sanctions on Karnakis & Karnakis, a law firm based in Greece and Panama, saying it had for years provided legal assistance to Iranian shipping networks. State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott said the firm set up shell companies to hide the true owners of vessels carrying Iranian oil, petrochemicals and steel, and that the networks sold millions of barrels of Iranian oil to benefit the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force and the Houthis. 'Whether you are conducting illegal oil transfers at sea or sitting in the corner office of a law firm, if you are supporting the Iranian regime, we will find you and sanction you,' Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said. The firm did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Treasury also sanctioned Singapore- and UAE-based shipping agents the same day.
