Bloomberg reported that the US Justice Department is examining the possible role of several American banks in financial transfers linked to the economic network of Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Iran’s former Supreme Leader.
According to the report, the investigation is part of a broader case involving allegations of money laundering and financial corruption.
US authorities are reportedly reviewing transactions that passed through American intermediary banks, including JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup.
The probe is aimed at mapping the financial structure tied to Iran’s leadership and examining whether gaps in compliance systems at US banks may have allowed these funds to move through the American financial system.
