SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 17 – BNP Paribas was sued
in 2016 for enabling genocide
in Sudan, and raised as its
defense the laws of
Switzerland and that the UN
did the same thing.
In
September 2025 Inner City
Press covered the trial as a
former compliance officer was
asked about blocked
transactions resubmitted
without the word Sudan and
passing; and a journalist
testified about El Fasher,
where Inner City Press
reported on UN corruption
until it was (and still is)
banned.
On October 16 the
closings, in which BNP's
lawyer said among other things
that BNP thought things were
getting better in Sudan
because the UN was there, and
the IMF. Thread.
On October 17,
the verdict:
2:15 pm Deputy:
Have plaintiffs proved BNP is
liable?
Foreperson: Yes
Deputy: How much
to Turjuman Ramadan Adam?
Foreperson: $6.75
million
Deputy: And to first
plaintiff? Foreperson: $7.3
million Deputy: And second?
Foreperson: $6.7 million
[Plus Turjuman's
$6.75 = $20,750,000 that BNP
owes - but they will move for
"judgment as a matter of law -
a UN-like impunity move.]
