A brazen smuggling ring thought they’d outsmart the feds by shipping US goods to Iran through China, but Reza Dindar’s scheme was busted wide open in a grand jury indictment.
Between 2010 and 2014, Dindar managed New Port Sourcing Solutions in Xi’an, China, where he hid the fact that his company was procuring US items for companies in Iran.
The indictment details how Dindar and his co-conspirators used deception to purchase parts for three military sonar systems from a business in the Western District of Washington in 2011 and 2012.
The President’s Executive Order in March 1995 and reimposed in 2001 prohibits the unauthorized exportation of goods to Iran, but Dindar’s crew thought they’d found a loophole.
Now, the 44-year-old Iranian citizen is facing a nine-count indictment and a court appearance in US District Court in Seattle.
