JCK: U.S. Reimposes Sanctions On Diamond Trader Gertler
The U.S. government taketh away, and then it giveth, and now it taketh away again.
The U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has revoked a one-year license given to Israeli diamond trader Dan Gertler (pictured) it issued only about five weeks ago. The license had effectively nullified sanctions that were placed on the 47-year-old Gertler three years earlier.
“As the original designation…made clear, Mr. Gertler engaged in extensive public corruption,” said the decision announcing the license revocation. “The United States will continue to promote accountability for corrupt actors.”
