@japdmedia26: MICHIGAN, USA 🇺🇸 — The father of Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed serves on the board of Life for Relief and Development, an Islamic humanitarian charity that previously settled a U.S. sanctions case involving transfers to Iraq. According to the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the charity agreed in March 2015 to pay $780,000 to settle potential civil liability for apparent violations of U.S. sanctions regulations. Federal records state that three transfers totaling $236,000 were considered in the case. The transactions occurred between September 2002 and March 2003, when Saddam Hussein was in power in Iraq. The funds were transferred from the United States through Amman, Jordan. OFAC said the charity’s president knew about the conduct and directed the transfers. The agency described the case as egregious. Recent media reports identify Dr. Mohammed El-Sayed as a board member of the charity. However, the available records do not establish that he participated in the historical transactions or that his son was involved in the case. The settlement concerned the charity’s alleged sanctions violations. It should not be treated as evidence of wrongdoing by the candidate or his father.
