  • State Crime and Arms Trafficking: the United States and the Merchants of Death
    State Crime and Arms Trafficking: The United States and the Merchants of Death Gary W. Potter Maria J. Grammer Overview This research focuses on the international market for weapons and the illicit provision of arms to meet that market demand. We will focus on the known sources of illicit arms; the types of arms most commonly trafficked in the illicit market, the activities of three major arms traffickers, and the role of the U.S. state in facilitating the illegal trafficking of arms. The Illicit Market in Arms Arms trafficking is multifaceted and involves a host of participants including transnational crime networks, states, and corporations. It is a complex web of sellers, brokers, intermediaries, financiers, and shipping companies. It involves a continuum from the grey market to the black market. Many state institutions play a prominent role in the facilitation of, complicity in, and implicit involvement in black and grey arms trafficking. The Illicit Market in Arms Considering the vast number of actors involved in arms trafficking, control is highly problematic. Furthermore, there are broader political issues that hinder efforts of control as highlighted by the state crime literature, including issues of enforcement, political will and states’ positions to hinder the advancement of levels of accountability for their own behaviors. If the goal of crime policy is to reduce illegal arms trafficking policies and controls must be based, not only on the immediate or apparent actors, but also the role of states in the facilitation of this type of crime. The Source of Illicit Arms Unfortunately we know very little about the source of weapons trafficked in the illicit market.

  • Arms Trafficking: Closing the Net a Test Case for Prosecution Under the U.S
    Arms Trafficking: Closing the Net A Test Case for Prosecution under the U.S. Law on Arms Brokering KATHI AUSTIN June 15, 2001 The Fund for Peace “Building Peace in the 21st Century” 1701 K Street, NW 11th floor Washington, DC 20006 Phone: 202-223-7940; FAX: 202-223-7947 http://www.fundforpeace.org ADDENDUM The Fund for Peace has learned that Sarkis Soghanalian, the alleged gun trafficker who is the subject of this report, was granted permission by the federal court in Los Angeles to leave the U.S. pending sentencing in July for conviction on wire fraud charges. This ruling reversed previous restrictions that limited Soghanalian’s movements to the Central District of California and, at one time, required him to wear an electronic monitoring device. Despite inquiries, The Fund for Peace has been unable to ascertain why a convicted felon, awaiting sentencing in the U.S. and facing an international arrest warrant from Peru, was allowed to travel overseas, providing an opportunity to escape justice and destroy evidence on other possible charges. Available public records do not provide any explanation for the decision of the court. Should Soghanalian not return to the U.S. for his July sentencing, the U.S. should immediately seek his extradition and solicit mutual legal cooperation and assistance from foreign governments for prosecution for violation of the U.S. arms brokering law. The Fund for Peace report helps establish probable cause for his arrest. Action on this case is especially urgent in light of the recent arrest of the Peruvian former intelligence chief, Vladimiro Montesinos, who, among other crimes, was reportedly involved in the same arms trafficking scandal as Soghanalian, and his accomplice, Charles Acelor.

LADB Article Id: 52502 ISSN: 1089-1560 Former Spymaster Faces New Trial For Trafficking Arms by LADB Staff Category/Department: Peru Published: 2004-01-30 Former Peruvian spymaster Vladimiro Montesinos went on trial on Jan. 20 on charges he directed a scheme to parachute-drop 10,000 rifles into the hands of Colombian guerrillas. Montesinos, the security adviser to former President Alberto Fujimori (1990-2000) through the 1990s, faces dozens of charges ranging from corruption to drug trafficking and authorizing murder. In this trial, prosecutors are seeking a 20-year sentence for Montesinos and are trying him along with 36 other co-defendants. Another trial for Montesinos began on Jan. 22, accusing him of paying the sensationalist press to defame Fujimori's opponents. These are Montesinos' fifth and sixth trials. Fujimori is currently residing in Japan. A child of Japanese parents, he enjoys citizenship there, and Peru lacks an extradition treaty with that country's government. In February, Peruvian authorities will send a delegation to Tokyo to explain their technical and juridical arguments for Fujimori's extradition.

  • The Baltic States, Arms Brokers and Diversions of Arms
    99 Paul Holtom* Centre for Border Studies, University of Glamorgan, UK The Baltic States, Arms Brokers and Diversions of Arms The illicit trade in arms, strategic and dual-use goods has attracted considerable international attention since the end of the Cold War. A particular interest has developed with regard to preventing the diversion of weapons from the licit market into the ‘black market’. This paper focuses explicitly upon the actors suspected of facilitating these diver- sions – arms brokers. After briefly considering the role played by ‘middlemen’ in the competitive licit arms market, the darker side of arms brokering will be explored. Two cases involving Baltic States citizens will then be discussed, which illustrate how arms brokers operate from a variety of locations, use corrupt state officials, front companies, flags of convenience and circuitous routes with weak customs and border controls to supply ‘undesirable end-users’. The potential of transport services in the Baltic States for brokering-related services will also be highlighted. The Baltic States are among the few states which currently have legislation for defining, controlling and monitoring brokering activities. Yet, national controls are insuf- ficient for preventing diversions, which require international co-operation. This paper considers the challenges posed for the Baltic States in this regard, and also the challenges that the Baltic States are posing for traditional thinking about international non-prolifera- tion regimes. The paper concludes by asking: what role for the Baltic States in combating diversions from the licit to illicit arms markets and controlling brokers? Introduction Since the end of the Cold War, a number of factors have had an impact upon our thinking about the arms trade in general, and the illicit arms trade in particular.
