A Southern District prosecutor told jurors Monday that a monthlong trial has revealed the secret long-time owner of a Manhattan skyscraper: Iran.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Lockard expressed confidence that the government had proven that the Alavi Foundation must give up its 60 percent stake in the 36-story office tower near Rockefeller Center.
He said Iran's secret ownership of the building and Alavi's complicity in a conspiracy to hide what was really going on has violated sanctions imposed by the U.S. against Iran for the last 22 years.
