U.N. report: North Korea smuggles oil, hacks banks despite sanctions

, including deceiving global banks, insurers and commodity traders, said the U.N. panel's report, which was reviewed by NBC News and was expected to be published Monday afternoon.

According to the report, the North is also proving adept at cybertheft to secure cash, stealing funds from foreign banks with vulnerable cybersecurity software or from cryptocurrency accounts, which are particularly difficult to track. "These violations render the latest United Nations sanctions ineffective by flouting the caps on the import of petroleum products and coal oil" by North Korea imposed by the U.N. Security Council in 2017."These transfers have increased in scope, scale and sophistication," it said.

"It fooled these global regional commodity trading companies into supplying more than 57,000 barrels in a single shipment by a ship-to-ship transfer," Griffiths told NBC News.March 11, 2019The report includes photos that show the large ship pulled alongside another vessel for the oil transfer, which had an estimated value of about $5.7 million, according to Griffiths.

The U.N. panel's report, citing information from a U.N. member state, said North Korea's most important ballistic missile companies — blacklisted by the U.N. —"are extremely active in Iran," Griffiths said.

United Nations Security Council sanction to North Korean economy is not for the defence of the war, that is killing north Korean human lives. Think about them.

Trump got played! SecPompeo what’s up with this?

UN panel of experts 😂😂

Well as long as the Chinese support him, what is there to do? Just pull out all US support.

But Trump says Kim said he doesn't know anything about it & that's good enough for Trump.

So all he things they were doing before, but we had a break from missile testing. NBC is a disgrace. Were you ever for the home team?

Of course they are! They have been playing TrumpTheChump the whole time.

Boom

Who could've known how hard president-ing would be 🤔

Emiliothesaint We’ll just have to defund those UN studies so the real truth can be told. The world according to tRump. 🙄

Winning

Looks like our genus got played...

Oh no, really?! I’m so surprised 🙄

Fake News EnemyOfThePeople

oh really now?

😏

No one believes you guys anymore, about anything

*cough* China Russia *cough

UN panel of experts? Good one.

Kim Jung-un saying “we’re not doing that” was enough to throw Inspector Bonespurs off the scent.

There is clearly no way Trump's BFF is doing these criminal things. 🙄

This was there past history

And I thought Trump said he was friends with Kim. Guess Trump really likes criminals

D.I.V.O.R.C.E. Looks like the end for Donald and Jong Un.

Thanks Kremlin

North Korea, mixing pleas and provocation, asks for food aid while hinting at rocket launchHaving come away empty-handed from the Hanoi summit, North Korea is both inching toward provocation and seeking to tug at heartstrings — taking steps toward a rocket launch while pleading for food aid, making the case that sanctions are causing its people to go hungry. That's one way put a negative spin on a leader smart to have nukes or be assassinated and have his country thrown into chaos like Libya. I hate Trump, but the neocons in his administration and the MSM trying to sabotage peace talks for an end to the war and reunification suck! “crippling sanctions” man this country sanctions a lot of brown countries that don’t bend the knee. 'Kim Jong Un went into the summit with one objective:' Really? You really think that he only had 'one' objective? What a stupid bit of whatever.
