Ed. Note: if you’re new to TURBOFAC, please take note that the text string filtration function generally shouldn’t be used for terms such as “ordinarily resident,” “causing” or “new debt”. For research on the meaning of words and phrases such as those, i.e. terms central to the key legal issues in sanctions law that appear on a cross-programmatic basis, you’re typically better off locating and checking the appropriate box in the “Key Legal Issues” search category, which will limit the results to those that have been manually assessed as being relevant for the interpretation of the terms at issue.
Try typing your search term (“ordinarily resident,” “new debt,” or something else) in the “Find a Search Filter” box at the top of the page, and the corresponding “Key Legal Issues” check box will pop up instantly, if one exists. Once you check the box (e.g. “new debt,” with ~55 results), you can always use the text string filtration function to further refine your search (e.g. by typing “invoice” and narrowing the ~55 results to ~10).
Note in addition that the same applies to text string searches such as “14071” (if you’re looking for items related to EO 14071). By typing “14071” in the “Find a Search Filter” field up top, you will be able to instantly narrow the results down to items manually assessed as relating to EO 14071. Ditto terms such as “515.204” or “Iran General License G” (try the “Discrete Legal Provision” search category).

Atilla 15 Cr. 867 (RMB) (S.D.N.Y.), the criminal prosecution of the deputy director general of the Turkish bank "Halkbank" in connection with his role in evasive transactions that were "sanctionable" under certain secondary sanctions authorities and, potentially, prohibited under the ITSR. See comments to United States v. Atilla 15 Cr. 867 (RMB) (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 7, 2018) (Dkt. 493) for comment on the legal bases of the criminal prosecution. The initial indictment contained allegations of direct violations of the ITSR as a result of certain funds transiting the U.S. financial system, but as the litigation proceeded it appeared less likely that such allegations could be proven.
Of particular note here, there is testimony of Adam Szubin (pp. 645-678), testifying about events having taken...
