Last year, a U.S. District Court in Manhattan secretly froze $2 billion held in a Citigroup (C) account. The money was believed to have been held on behalf of Iran, through Luxembourg's Clearstream Banking S.A. In what the Wall Street Journal reports could be the largest seizure of Iranian assets abroad since the Islamic revolution of 1979, several parties are lining up to claim the cash. And, it looks like the battle is headed for trial.
The order to freeze the funds was executed 18 months ago by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and hasn't been made public. In issuing the legal order, the court used information from the U.S. Treasury Department. Though the money is frozen, the struggle is heating up.
