Human Rights First Welcomes Revocation of License to Sanctioned Businessman Dan Gertler

March 09, 2021 Related Campaigns & Topics WASHINGTON – Human Rights First welcomes the decision by the U.S. Treasury and State Departments to revoke the sanctions license that was issued to Dan Gertler in the final days of the Trump administration. This license granted Gertler and his businesses access to assets previously frozen under the Global Magnitsky Act.   “The Trump administration issuing a license to Dan Gertler under questionable circumstances seriously undermined the United States’ credibility and commitment to fighting corruption in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and around the world,” said Amanda Strayer, Associate for Human Rights Accountability at Human Rights First. “Today’s revocation ensures that Gertler faces the consequences of his corrupt dealings. Equally important, it sends a clear message to other corrupt actors: they cannot cozy up to the U.S. government to get around sanctions. Now the Treasury Department must conduct a thorough investigation into how this license was issued to uncover any corruption and ensure it does not happen again.”
