HELLO FINCEN; THE SON OF IRAN'S SUPREME RULER, AYATOLLAH KHAMENEI, MOVED BILLIONS OF DOLLARS INTO TAX HAVEN BANKS, USING SAINT KITTS AND NEVIS SHELL CORPORATIONS

UK Media is on fire with the news that MOJTABA KHAMENEI, one of the sons of Iran's Supreme Ruler, AYATOLLAH KHAMENEI, laundered billions of dollars into tax haven banks in Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Liechtenstein, using anonymous shell companies formed in SAINT KITTS AND NEVIS. This breaking news, coming on the heels of this week's disclosure that the American AML/CFT agency FINCEN just removed its 2014 Advisory and warning on Saint Kitts & Nevis, should be a wake up call for that agency. 

The fact that such a high profile Politically Exposed Person (PEP) as Mojtaba Khanenei would be allowed to obtain corporations in Saint Kitts affirms that both the country's Registry of Companies, and its financial service firms, will sell companies to the most dangerous individuals under global sanctions, confirming that the elevated risk of any financial transactions with Saint Kitts and Nevis companies, financial institutions, government agencies, lawyers or businesses must be avoided, lest exposure to terrorist financing, money laundering and international sanctions violations be charged to anyone who makes the fatal error of dealing with any entity or individual linked to that high-risk offshore jurisdiction.

Saint Kitts should now expect the full force of United States law enforcement agencies to come down hard on all these Kittitian entities, after this despicable information has come to light. American bankers who want to avoid being indicted with them had best pay heed to the probable consequences of doing business with St. Kitts banks.

We trust that the Director of FinCEN is paying attention.
