Caution:

Hossein Ahmad Larijani is wanted by the FBI, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (Homeland Security Investigations) and the U.S. Department of Commerce (Office of Export Enforcement), for his alleged involvement in illegally procuring technology that originated in the United States and was later incorporated into Improvised Explosive Devices which targeted U.S. and coalition forces in Iraq from 2008 to 2010. Larijani executed this scheme with one Iranian company, three companies in Singapore, and four co-conspirators also in Singapore. Three co-conspirators were arrested and extradited to the U.S., pleaded guilty, served time in federal prison, and were deported back to Singapore. The remaining co-conspirator remains at large in Singapore.

 

A federal arrest warrant was issued for Hossein Ahmad Larijani on September 15, 2010, in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, Washington, D.C., after he was charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States by dishonest means; smuggling; illegal exports and attempted illegal exports in violation of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA); and obstruction of justice.
