Survivors of 9/11 Seek Personal Jurisdiction Over Saudi Construction Firm and Bank Chairman Designated as SDGT

Survivors of 9/11 Seek Personal Jurisdiction Over Saudi Construction Firm and Bank Chairman Designated as SDGT The passage outlines potential investigative leads involving a Saudi Arabian construction company and a bank chairman allegedly designated by the U.S. Treasury as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist. While it provides some specifics (ATA claims, jurisdictional discovery, Treasury designation), the information is largely procedural and lacks concrete transaction details or direct evidence of wrongdoing, limiting its immediate investigative utility but still warranting follow‑up. Key insights: Survivors filed Antiterrorism Act (ATA) claims seeking jurisdiction over a Saudi construction firm.; Discovery requests aim to uncover the firm's U.S. activities and any money transfers to al Qaeda operatives.; Plaintiffs allege a bank chairman was designated by the Treasury as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT).
