In re Grand Jury Subpoena

(1) Whether the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 grants foreign states sovereign immunity from American criminal jurisdiction; (2) whether 28 U.S.C. § 1330(a) is the exclusive basis for subject-matter jurisdiction in a federal action against a foreign state, or 18 U.S.C. § 3231 or another non-FSIA statute can provide subject-matter jurisdiction in a federal action against a foreign state; (3) whether the FSIA's exceptions to jurisdictional immunity (28 U.S.C. §" 1605-1607) apply only in cases for which 28 U.S.C. § 1330(a) supplies subject-matter jurisdiction; and (4) whether the FSIA permits an American court to impose and enforce contempt sanctions (monetary or otherwise) against a foreign state.
