"Federal authorities on Sunday arrested Shamim Mafi, a 44-year-old Iranian national and lawful permanent resident of the United States at Los Angeles International Airport while attempting to board a flight to Istanbul, Turkey. The arrest occurred as part of an investigation into alleged arms brokering activities conducted on behalf of the government of Iran.
According to a 68-page criminal complaint filed by federal prosecutors, Mafi is charged with brokering the sale of drones, bombs, and millions of rounds of ammunition manufactured by Iran and sold to Sudan. She is also accused of conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act."
