Indictments returned in Delaware and Massachusetts of Iranian arms procurement agent Amir Hossein Ardebili were unsealed Dec. 2. David C. Weiss, U.S. attorney for the District of Delaware, announced that Ardebili pleaded guilty to the indictments May 19, 2008, and is scheduled for sentencing at 9:30 a.m. Dec. 14 before Chief Judge Gregory M. Sleet of the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney David L. Hall. Delaware has jurisdiction because a Delaware financial institution was used to deposit money linked to one of Ardebili’s deals.
