MONTREAL – The Royal Canadian Mounted Police says two former United Nations employees in Montreal have been charged after they allegedly took part in a conspiracy to illegally sell Chinese-made drones and other military equipment to Libya.
The RCMP says Fathi Ben Ahmed Mhaouek, who is 61 and lives in the Montreal suburb of Sainte-Catherine, Que., has been arrested and is expected to appear in a Montreal court today.
Police say his alleged accomplice, Mahmud Mohamed Elsuwaye Sayeh, 37, remains on the run and INTERPOL has issued an alert to police around the world.
