1. (S) On March 30 we delivered reftel points to MFA Legal
Department Deputy Director Martin Sorby. During a follow-up
meeting on April 2, he revealed that the MFA immediately took
the necessary steps to freeze any Sepah investments in
Norway. The necessary legal instruments were prepared, and
made effective. The relevant Norwegian enforcement authority
was ordered to investigate this matter and determine whether
Nordea has Sepah accounts and, if so, to immediately freeze
them.
