- 6 years ago
On Wednesday, jurors in the US trial of Mehmet Hakan Atilla, an executive at Turkey's state-owned Halkbank who is charged with assisting Iran in evading US sanctions, asked what they should do if they agree on some of the charges but not others. Atilla stands accused of bank fraud, money laundering and four separate conspiracy charges. Wednesday was the case's fourth day of deliberation which has increased diplomatic tension between the United States and Turkey.
