Info:
UAE-based Advance Banking Solution Trading DMCC (ABS), a front company for ISC, acquired proprietary U.S. goods and technology from over two dozen U.S. companies, both indirectly and through third-party resellers, for onward transfer to CBI. ABS falsely claimed that it was the ultimate end user of the products, concealing their intent to forward the items to Iran from U.S.-based vendors. ISC chief executive officer Seyed Abotaleb Najafi oversaw and approved the illicit acquisition of items acquired by ISC.
Iran-based Informatics Services Corporation (ISC), a subsidiary of CBI and publicly recognized as the technology arm of CBI, oversees Iran’s electronic banking clearance network, Shetab, and is affiliated with Shaparak, Iran’s electronic card payment network. ISC most recently developed the Central Bank Digital Currency platform for the Central Bank of Iran.
“The Central Bank of Iran has played a critical role in providing financial support to the IRGC-QF and Hizballah, two key actors intent on further destabilizing the Middle East,” said Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian E. Nelson. “The United States will continue to use all available means to disrupt the Iranian regime’s illicit attempts to procure sensitive U.S. technology and critical inputs.”
