Hakan Atilla, a former executive at Turkey's Halkbank arrested in the US in March 2017 for allegedly violating Iran sanctions, was released from prison on Friday. Last January, he was found guilty by a jury in New York on five counts related to conspiracy and bank fraud but was acquitted of money laundering.Turkey has repeatedly criticised his conviction, calling it "politically motivated."The judge allowed the time he served after being arrested to be credited in the sentence.
