Jury selection set for trial of Turkey-owned bank executive
Reza Zarrab
NEW YORK - Muslimchronicle
Jury selection is scheduled to begin in the trial of a top executive for a state-run bank in Turkey accused of conspiring to help Iran evade economic sanctions.
Halkbank Deputy CEO Mehmet Hakan Atilla has pleaded not guilty to charges he conspired with international gold trader Reza Zarrab. Jury selection is set to begin Monday.
It’s unknown what role Zarrab could play in the trial.
Turkey’s deputy prime minister has said Zarrab is a “hostage” being forced to testify against Turkey’s government. Manhattan federal court Judge Richard Berman has said Turkey’s government can provide evidence to help the men instead of lobbying criticisms.
Turkey’s president has repeatedly asked the US to release Zarrab.
Zarrab has hired former US officials to also work for his release.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
