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)
