Woodland Hills Woman Pleads Not Guilty to Grand Jury Indictment Charging Iran-to-Sudan Weapons Brokering Through Oman Shell Company
Shamim Mafi, an Iranian-born U.S. permanent resident, was indicted by a federal grand jury on May 1 and pleaded not guilty on May 8 to IEEPA conspiracy charges alleging she used an Oman-registered company to broker a €61.6 million drone sale, 55,000 bomb fuses, and 240 million rounds of ammunition from Iran's defense establishment to Sudan's military — while allegedly admitting to FBI agents at LAX that she knew the activity violated U.S. sanctions.
