SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 14 – Standard Chartered
Bank has been sued under the
Anti-Terrorism Act, for its
role in producing bombs that
killed Americans in
Afghanistan.
On July
13, 2022 U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Edgardo Ramos
held a proceeding. Inner City
Press covered it.
Judge Ramos
inquired into a line from the
complaint, that US officials
met with Standard Charged at
its New York office and told
it that its client Fatima was
a primary supplier of
precursors used by Al-Qaeda -
but that Standard Chartered
kept doing it.
Judge Ramos
asked, Was Standard Chartered
told what it was done was
illegal? Plaintiff counsel
replied he didn't know, or
couldn't say in this public
forum (Inner City Press was
the only media present).
Judge Ramos
gave StanChart until August 3
to file a motion to dismiss.
The case is
Bonacasa et al v. Standard
Chartered PLC et al.,
22-cv-3320 (Ramos)
