Court records show the men pleaded guilty yesterday to conspiracy to defraud the US and to illegally exporting the parts to Syrian Arab Airlines. The Treasury Department says the government-run airline transports weapons and ammunition in conjunction with the Hezbollah extremist organization and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
The men are identified as 40-year-old Ali Caby, 43-year- old Arash Caby and 34-year-old Marjan Caby. Among other things, federal prosecutors say they submitted false and misleading electronic information to federal agencies about the exports.
