Two former UN agency employees have been charged in Montreal for allegedly selling Chinese-made drones and other military equipment to Libya in violation of international sanctions.
Both of the men are said to have worked at the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in Montreal, a UN agency, while the alleged acts were being carried out, RCMP say.
“Using foreign front companies, the individuals behind the conspiracy allegedly circumvented existing international sanctions to facilitate illegal activities,” said the statement.
The Epoch Times reached out to the ICAO for comment but did not receive a response by publication time.
According to the RCMP, Mr. Sayeh has yet to be arrested and is subject to a Red Notice from Interpol—a request to law enforcement worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest a person.
Police allege that Mr. Sayeh concealed both the military equipment and the buyers of the equipment, while Mr. Mhaouek, who has been taken into custody, is alleged to have helped facilitate the purchase of Libyan oil between entities under sanctions and the People’s Republic of China.
