CALIFORNIA ELECTIONS: U.S. Senate race
Profits may not equal success
Carly Fiorina’s business experience is a mixed blessing in political realm.
May 20, 2010
EXCERPT
As she tries to carve out support for herself on with her party’s tax-averse right flank, Fiorina has had to explain why she appeared to support taxation of Internet commerce while running HP. And despite her calls for harsh sanctions against Iran as it develops its nuclear program, an HP subsidiary sold products to Iran through an intermediary while she headed the company, even though a trade embargo was in effect.

HP SALES IN IRAN MAY PUT FIORINA ON THE DEFENSIVE - EX-CEO FACES QUESTIONS ABOUT PRODUCTS SOLD BY SUBSIDIARY
San Jose Mercury News (CA) - August 31, 2009
EXCERPT
Early this year, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued a letter to HP seeking information about the company’s dealings in Iran, Syria and Sudan. HP responded that in fiscal 2008 about $120 million worth of products were sold to Iran by a Dutch subsidiary through a Middle Eastern distributor. But even as the company claimed that those sales were legal because its subsidiary was acting on its own, HP in January announced it was severing ties with Dubai-based Redington Gulf. The distributor had sold HP products to Iran since 1997, two years after the United States imposed a complete ban on exports to Iran.
The announcement came days after The Boston Globe reported from Iran that HP printers had become nearly ubiquitous there despite the embargo.
One former federal trade enforcement official said HP’s dealings with the country are ripe for further investigation. If Fiorina or other HP employees based in the United States were aware that HP products were being resold to Iran, they could face fines or even prosecution for violating the trade embargo, said Mike Turner, former director of the Office of Trade Enforcement at the U.S. Department of Commerce.
