Citigroup Inc. Hit By Iran's Central Bank Lawsuit

Iran’s central bank Bank Markazi is going to file a lawsuit in US Federal Court against Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C) to release the frozen assets deposited by Clearstream Banking SA in Citibank.

The bank froze $2 billion assets in 2008 as the victims of international terrorism sought the fund as partial payments.

Bank Markazi said that it is illegal on the part of Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C) to freeze the assets, as the move violates US law.
