☆ U.S. Sanctions Shipping Firm, Individuals for Alleged Oil Exports to North Korea
  + stars: | 2022-10-07 | by ( Mengqi Sun | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: +2 min
The U.S. imposed sanctions against a shipping company and two individuals for allegedly exporting oil to North Korea, which the U.S. said supports Pyongyang’s nuclear and military programs. The U.S. said the Courageous, also known as the Sea Prima, has participated in several deliveries of refined petroleum to North Korea, including ship-to-ship transfers to North Korean vessels that violated United Nations sanctions. North Korea faces sanctions from the U.S. and the U.N., including restrictions on its import of petroleum products. Ship-to-ship transfers have been identified as one way North Korea circumvents these sanctions. PREVIEWFriday’s sanctions come after the U.S. Justice Department filed a criminal complaint against Mr. Kwek in April 2021 for allegedly conspiring to evade economic sanctions on North Korea and for conspiracy to money launder.

Amazon last month asked the FTC to cancel subpoenas issued to Messrs. Bezos and Jassy, arguing that they aren’t steeped in the details of Prime’s sign-up and cancellation processes, which is the investigation’s focus. The FTC’s staff began the probe in March 2021, examining whether the company deceived customers into signing up for Prime and didn’t provide a simple way to cancel the program’s recurring charges, according to the order issued Wednesday.

It was 6 a.m., and the buses from Texas had yet to arrive. An hour later, empty buses from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority would line up to transport migrants across New York City. At around 8, 80 asylum-seeking migrants filed out of the two buses arriving from the Lone Star State, one sent by Mr. Abbott from the border and another by the city of El Paso. Messrs. Castro and Espaillat shook everyone’s hand, saying: “Bienvenidos a Nueva York.”Since early August, Gov. Ron DeSantis one-upped Mr. Abbott by sending a small plane full of Venezuelan migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, Mass.
