<p>汇丰银行和渣打银行卷入了一项数百万英镑的洗钱指控，涉嫌为伊朗洗钱，《每日电讯报》可以披露。</p>
<p>这两家英国跨国银行被指控 “无意中” 处理了可能与复杂的规避制裁阴谋有关的支付。</p>
<p>它们是五家银行之一，包括摩根大通、花旗银行和纽约梅隆银行，这些银行已被美国法官命令交出其记录以供检查。</p>
<p>主要英国银行与潜在的为德黑兰洗钱的联系的揭露，正值白宫威胁惩罚任何支持伊朗的 “外国金融机构” 之际。</p>
<p>上周，美国财政部宣布将 “积极采取经济愤怒行动，保持对伊朗的最大压力”。</p>
<p>在一份声明中表示：“金融机构应当注意，财政部正在利用所有可用工具和权力，并准备对继续支持伊朗活动的外国金融机构实施二次制裁。”</p>
<p>基尔·斯塔默爵士与唐纳德·特朗普之间的关系因伊朗战争而日益紧张。上周，美国总统威胁要撕毁与英国的贸易协议，因为瑞秋·里夫斯抨击了没有退出战略的 “愚蠢” 战争。</p>
<p>特朗普先生暗示他可能会改变去年与基尔·斯塔默达成的协议，原因是英国在中东缺乏支持。</p>
<p>根据本月早些时候在美国法院提交的文件，科威特金融公司（KFH）在土耳其的分支机构——库威特土耳其（Kuveyt Turk）——“使用空壳公司隐藏与伊朗的潜在联系”。</p>
<p>据称，库威特土耳其使用了五家银行——汇丰、渣打、摩根大通、花旗和纽约梅隆银行——作为 “代理银行”，这意味着它们代表其处理美元交易。</p>
<p>提交给法院的文件声称，库威特土耳其处理的一笔 570 万美元（420 万英镑）的交易涉及国家伊朗石油公司，该公司已被美国、欧盟和英国制裁。</p>
<p>在提交给纽约南区联邦法院的其他文件中，声称库威特土耳其为两家美国制裁公司处理了与核武器和弹道导弹相关的设备的欧元支付。</p>
<p>这两家公司——哈塔姆·阿尔安比亚建筑公司和阿尔万德石化公司——与伊朗的伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）有关联。</p>
<p>法院文件声称，库威特土耳其处理的采购与风扇叶片和大型轴流风扇有关，这些设备用于地下弹道导弹发射井，“可能与核武器和弹道导弹有关”。</p>
<p>文件继续指出：“哈塔姆·阿尔安比亚建筑公司是伊朗革命卫队的主要部门之一，以间接资助哈马斯、真主党以及伊朗的核武器和弹道导弹工业而闻名。</p>
<p>“这是一个复杂的洗钱计划，涉及伊朗向科威特拥有的实体支付，包括以美元支付。上述证据显示记录被篡改以掩盖受制裁的交易。”</p>
<p>没有证据表明汇丰、渣打、摩根大通、花旗和纽约梅隆银行直接或故意参与了规避制裁的活动，也没有证据表明它们参与了任何基于欧元的交易。</p>
<p>这些细节是在涉及伊朗女商人德拉拉姆·扎瓦雷与 KFH 及其子公司之间的争议案件中披露的。</p>
<p>扎瓦雷女士是伊朗政权的 “直言不讳的反对者”，并在社交媒体上公开批评该政权，法院文件称。2002 年，她将家人迁至迪拜，并继续从那里管理她在伊朗的资产。</p>
<p>她声称自己遭受了伊朗政府的 “政治动机国家支持的运动”，该运动还针对她的家人和企业利益。</p>
<p>她的律师声称，KFH 及其子公司与伊朗通过其国有实体 “共谋”，窃取她的石油和天然气公司能源勘探与开发有限公司（ENEXD）价值数百万美元的设备。</p>
<p>法院文件称，KFH 及其子公司因 “追求对 ENEXD 的阴谋报复” 而 “获得了伊朗的丰厚回报”。</p>
<p>代表 ENEXD 的律师辩称，库威特土耳其与另一家土耳其银行一起被伊朗公司用来处理价值数百万美元的支付给 KFH 及其子公司。</p>
<p>扎瓦雷女士正在准备在伦敦高等法院提起单独的诉讼，她的法律团队已经发出了一系列行动前的信函。</p>
<p>一位熟悉此案的制裁法律专家表示：“根据我所看到的情况，我认为每一家代理银行似乎都无意中卷入其中。</p>
<p>“我之所以说无意中，是因为这些银行已经因处理伊朗支付而被罚款数亿美元，当然不希望继续这样做。</p>
<p>“其次，在我看来，这些代理银行在遵守制裁方面做事是正确和谨慎的。第三，所有代理银行在合同上都会阻止像库威特土耳其这样的银行进行任何来自或与伊朗有关的支付。”</p>
<p>英国举报人协会首席执行官乔治娜·哈尔福德 - 霍尔正在支持扎瓦雷女士。她说：“这个案件之所以花了这么长时间才浮出水面，不仅是因为复杂性和不同因素的数量，还因为英国法律未能为像扎瓦雷女士和本案中的其他人提供保护。</p>
<p>“他们对个人安全感到害怕，并担心这些实体可能会对他们在其他国家的家人施加压力或报复。如果我们要打击金融犯罪，就需要一个英国举报人保护框架来设定适当的标准。”</p>
<p>汇丰、渣打银行、摩根大通、花旗、纽约梅隆银行和 KFH 拒绝发表评论。在花旗提出异议后，法官要求 ENEXD 根据新信息提交额外的发现请求。</p>

<p>汇丰和渣打银行正面临与伊朗相关的数百万英镑洗钱计划的指控。它们与摩根大通、花旗银行和纽约梅隆银行一起，被美国法官命令提供记录以供检查。这些指控源于声称这些银行为伊朗实体处理支付，包括那些受到美国和欧盟制裁的实体。美国财政部已警告金融机构不要支持伊朗，暗示可能会实施次级制裁。目前尚未对这些银行的制裁规避活动提出直接指控</p>
