美國財政部啟動經濟放逐行動,旨在切斷伊朗政權透過洗錢規避制裁的管道。
俄羅斯A7支付平台遭華府以協助伊朗規避美國總統川普的「經濟放逐行動」(Operation Economic Outcast)制裁,2日發表聲明否認與伊朗有任何關聯。
A7在聲明中說,公司斷然否認任何有關與伊朗或恐怖組織合作的指控;A7是為「受制於非法限制措施的俄羅斯市場」提供「不間斷的支付結算」,其所服務的是「涉及消費性商品與大宗商品的合法進出口」。
但根據美國財政部,A7已建立1個由關係企業組成的全球網絡,以便「將與遭到制裁的行業以及個人有關的支付,偽裝成普通商業活動」;包括大權在握的伊朗伊斯蘭革命衛隊(IRGC),也利用這個網絡。
美國財政部今年8月下旬宣布正式啟動「經濟放逐行動」,將任何代表伊朗協助洗錢活動的實體踢出美元體的,藉此切斷伊朗政權的所有其他選擇與加大對德黑蘭當局的經濟施壓,以結束中東戰爭。
美國財政部1日說,禁止與A7及其子代理機構進行任何交易、稱該公司是「重大跨國犯罪組織」,以及將此前實施的制裁擴及整個網絡。
A7是由聚焦國防領域的「俄羅斯國營商業銀行」(PSB)在2024年成立,現已成為俄國跨境支付市場的領導者。為因應西方制裁,俄羅斯尋求與中國與印度等主要貿易夥伴,建立涵蓋加密貨幣、黃金與非西方貨幣的替代支付體系。
