Netherlands – conviction for breach of Iran sanctions

The District Court in the Hague has convicted an individual for the making of  unauthorised financial transfers to/from Iran in the years 2013 and 2014 of around €92,000.

The person was convicted but no sentence imposed on mental health grounds, while noting that ordinarily a conviction would result in a lengthy custodial sentence.

Various sums seized as part of the investigation were returned to the defendant as the prosecution had not proven that these sums related to particular criminal activity.
