Turkiye Halk Bankasi A.S. v. United States

Summary

The Court held that the district court has subject‑matter jurisdiction over the criminal prosecution of Halkbank under 18 U.S.C. §3231 and that the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act provides no immunity in criminal cases. It affirmed the lower courts on those points, vacated the appellate judgment on the common‑law immunity issue, and remanded for further consideration.
