A Montreal-based company has been placed on a United States government sanctions list that bans Americans from doing business with it.
Emaxon Finance International, which was legally headquartered in Montreal, was placed on the list due to its connection with Dan Gertler, an Israeli billionaire and one of “13 serious human rights abusers and corrupt actors” facing sanctions, the U.S. Treasury Department said on Thursday.
U.S. residents, citizens and corporations are legally barred from doing business with companies on the sanctions list and any U.S. assets held by those companies are frozen.

The company’s sole listed shareholder is DGI Diamonds Ltd., an Israeli firm owned by Gertler. (more...)
