General Statement
Thank you for your interest in the civil class action case, Kashef, et al. v. BNP Paribas, S.A., et al., (Case No. 1:16-cv-03228), which was brought on April 29, 2016, in the federal court in the Southern District of New York. This case was filed on behalf of certain Sudanese refugees in the United States who are victims of BNP Paribas's crimes, that is, violating U.S. sanctions and New York law. These sanctions banned companies like BNP Paribas from engaging in certain types of business with Sudan.
For your convenience, we posted the Key Documents from the ongoing civil case. The documents from our Appeal, Kashef, et al. v BNP Paribas, S.A., et al., (Case No. 18-1304), have been posted to the Appeal Documents. Specifically, the recent Appellate Court Opinion has been published and can be downloaded here.
You can read about the criminal case here.
Please be advised that this civil lawsuit against BNP Paribas Bank, S.A. seeking compensation for Sudanese-American victims is not connected to the Department of Justice’s request for claimant information through the website www.usvbnpp.com in 2015. If you filled out information for that website, or requested that an attorney assist you in petitioning the U.S. Department of Justice for compensation for injuries by the Government of Sudan, that program closed as of July 31, 2015, and there is no government-sponsored victims’ compensation program available or being considered.
If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected] or (212) 851-6821.
