A U.S. judge ruled that three Chinese banks must comply with subpoenas in a North Korea probe or risk having their access cut to U.S. correspondent accounts
WASHINGTON—A U.S. federal judge ordered three Chinese banks to provide documents sought by a grand jury and federal prosecutors investigating a Hong Kong-based front company for North Korea’s nuclear program, according to an opinion unsealed late Tuesday.
The ruling is the second known instance of prosecutors relying on a rarely used tool in the Patriot Act, marking a major escalation in the U.S. government’s efforts to block North Korea’s ability to circumvent sanctions and access the international financial system.
