Tony Abi Saab is playing a cat and mouse game with law authorities 1
convicted Arms dealer, fraud and embezzler as defined by the US Department of Justice has setup a global network of companies to evade sanctions and purchase weapons.Tony Abi Saab of SIMAINT has been arrested in Afghanistan via a global sting operation, sent to the US to stand trial, for conspiracy to cause harm to the US and bribery. All global governments sat up and took notice when three leading US agencies launched a global sting operation to nab him and his girlfriend who were on a secret trip to Afghanistan to sell weapons. After a near jail term in the US, he returned and is now stronger than ever. He has strategically setup companies around the world to evade sanctions and has created an anonymous banking platform in Lebanon.It is worrisome that his capabilities have improved after nearly being sentenced to jail in the United States. He along with his girlfriend, Dinorah Cobos are able to travel the world without being stopped. They have setup several companies in European Union for procuring arms, then shipping them to East Europe and onwards to Bangladesh. Using the lax border controls of Bangladesh they are able to issue fake certificates for weapons and route the shipment to war zones.Apart from the shipping processes, they have banking presence in Turkey, Germany, Serbia, Czech Republic and Ukraine. With a base in Lebanon they are managing the money flow and smuggling with ease and are doing it only for profits.Tony Abi Saab's bank in Kaslick is able to accept cash and distribute it to several accounts. This ensures that the Lebanese authorities do not question or interfere and then funnels this to offshore accounts. This process is what made three US Intelligence agencies sit up and take notice and have barred him from doing business in the United States.
