Iranian charged with plot to smuggle material from Illinois

A federal indictment accuses a 56-year-old Iranian businessman of trying to smuggle materials used in the missile industry and restricted under nuclear-nonproliferation rules from Illinois to Iran.

 

Saeed Valadbaigi plotted in 2011 to illegally export aluminum tubing used in both the missile and the aerospace industries from Illinois to Iran by way of Belgium and Malaysia. The eight-count indictment was returned in 2016 but unsealed only this week.

 

Valadbaigi is considered a fugitive by US authorities. Prosecutors did not provide details on his possible whereabouts.
