Tesoro EE. UU. sanciona al banco turco Golden Global por vínculos con el IRGC

El Tesoro de EE.  UU. sancionó al banco turco Golden Global y a sus dos filiales el 5 de septiembre, acusándolos de mover fondos para el Cuerpo de la Guardia Revolucionaria Islámica de Irán, mientras el banco rechazó las acusaciones y declaró que buscará recursos judiciales.
