NEW YORK, July 25, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Shurat HaDin - Israel Law Center, the organization that built its reputation on hard-fought legal battles and victories against terror sponsors, today sent a letter to worldwide mobile satellite company Inmarsat PLC, warning it against providing prohibited guidance services to Iranian oil tankers and Iranian military vessels. The warning letter stressed that Inmarsat's actions would expose the telecommunications giant to criminal prosecution and civil liability from Americans and others who suffer as a result of Iran's international sponsorship of terrorism.
In 2008, the United States Supreme Court ruling made the determination that individuals or companies that materially support terrorist organizations are liable for the murder and in...

The assertive use of the president's statutory authority to make exceptions suggests that law enforcement officials may never feel bound to transfer a suspect to military custody, at least under the current administration.
When the Senate Armed Services Committee last year proposed mandating that foreign Al Qaeda suspects be held in military custody rather than handled by the civilian criminal justice system, the Obama administration argued strenuously that such a rule was unwise and unnecessary. But lawmakers included the new rule in a major defense bill anyway.

This article examines the federal government's growing use of 18 USC § 1346 to prosecute public company executives for breaching their fiduciary duties. Section 1346 is a controversial but under-examined statute making it a felony to engage in a scheme "to deprive another of the intangible right of honest services." Although enacted by Congress over twenty years ago, the Supreme Court repeatedly declined to review the statute, until now. The questions before the Supreme Court are of particular interest to public company executives and their professional advisors. Traditionally, Delaware law has governed the content and enforcement of executives' legal duties, largely protecting public company fiduciaries from civil liability. Now, with the emergence of honest services fraud as a weapon ...
