      Berman asks if Aslan works with banks in this consulting business. Atilla says he doesn't believe so because if Aslan did work with banks, he would know about it. Fleming gets back to her questions.

      Atilla says that Halkbank and all Turkish banks have compliance departments, i.e. compliance with sanctions. Fleming asks if computer programs also assisted in those efforts. Atilla says yes, "they are using such things," though he doesn't know the name of the program.

      He explains how the program works, in "bank-ese," which is again my slang for banking jargon.

      But the program does flag any transactions that mention Iran, Cuba, Syria, or North Korea, Atilla says.

      And also, any names that may be on the sanctions list... would be stuck on the filtering system, Atilla says.

      Atilla said that he would generally meet with OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control), the Treasury, and the embassy. "There are so many names that I can't remember all of them," Atilla says, but he mentions David Cohen and Adam Szubin, who both testified earlier.

      Fleming asks if there came a point where information became published by WikiLeaks. Didn't get the context as to what information she's referring to. Standby.

      Fleming specifies that Atilla should not refer to the contents of the @WikiLeaks cable, but explain how it came about that there was information in @WikiLeaks. Laughter in the coutroom.

      Presumably, the secrecy is because the WikiLeaks cable in question may have been secret, and cannot be described in open court proceedings now, even though it is now public.

      What era WL disclosure is this? Last year, or Cablegate?

          And this is speculation, but I'd give this one a close read: https://search.wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/08ANKARA379_a.html …

          If you have any leads, or disagreements, please let me know and DM. The testimony here was very vague, and so this a shot in the dark couched in many disclaimers.
