UANI Issues Statement to Greek Ship Owner Victor Restis
UANI Calls on Restis to Disclose All Iran Business Transactions
New York, NY - United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) CEO, Ambassador Mark D. Wallace, issued the following statement to Victor Restis, Chairmanof Greece's First Business Bank S.A. (FBB), who today responded to UANI by claiming to have no involvement with sanctioned Greek businessman Dimitris Cambis or any sanctioned Iranian entities:
We thank you for your response. Your statement is categorically silent as to your business dealings with or in Iran. Please immediately clarify any and all business relations that you, FBB, or affiliated persons or entities have in or with Iran.
Yesterday, UANI unveiled documented evidence of illicit business practices between Restis, and the Iranian regime. The documents demonstrate that Restis, through FBB and in conjunction with Mr. Cambis, is conspiring with individuals acting on behalf of the Iranian regime to serve as a front for the Iranian Ministry of Petroleum in Greece by securing a "strategic alliance" with the regime. In exchange, FBB will receive investments apparently in excess of one billion dollars from Iranian authorities.
