Svensk erkänner, ville sälja vapen till FARC

Expressen rapporterar att en svensk medborgare har erkänt att han försökt sälja vapen till colombianska terrorist- och gerillarörelsen FARC.

Ur åklagarens pressmeddelande i tisdags:

"PAUL MARDIROSSIAN pled guilty today in Manhattan federal court to five counts stemming from his negotiation of a weapons-for-drugs deal with DEA confidential sources whom he believed to be representatives of the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (“FARC”), a Colombian terrorist group. MARDIROSSIAN, a Swedish citizen, agreed to supply the FARC with military-grade weapons, including rocket-propelled grenade launchers and assault rifles, in exchange for large quantities of cocaine. MARDIROSSIAN pled guilty before U.S. District Judge Jed S. Rakoff."
