New York's financial regulator has asked Lloyd's of London, Swiss Re and Hannover Re for details about dealings linked to Iran as part of a probe into 20 non-U.S. reinsurance firms, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Citing a copy of the letter, the newspaper said Benjamin Lawsky (pictured), superintendent of New York's Department of Financial Services, had written to the reinsurance firms asking for details about their business with people or entities linked to Iran after finding evidence that at least three firms insured shipments to Iran.
Lloyd's and Swiss RE were not immediately available to comment.
