Washington uncovers Iran's aviation sanctions evasion
The U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has revealed Iran's illegal methods of obtaining American and Western-designed aircraft and spare parts, primarily through front companies in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. Iran employs aircraft re-registration and ownership transfer operations via multiple companies, often using forged documents to conceal the end-users and true objectives. Additionally, Iran purchases dual-use components with the intent of re-exporting them to Iran. The country relies on agents and trading companies to transport aircraft and spare parts, with warning signs for financial institutions such as the establishment of newly formed companies with opaque ownership structures, repeated transfer and re-routing activities, and unusual purchase requests. FinCEN urges financial institutions to assess these indicators, monitor suspicious activities, and report them to help curb the financing and supply of Iranian aviation with American and Western equipment.
