Two former United Nations employees in Montreal have been charged with participating in a conspiracy to sell Chinese-made drones and other military equipment in Libya, according to Canadian police. The alleged offenses occurred between 2018 and 2021 while the two men were working at the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a U.N. agency based in Montreal.
The individuals, identified as a 61-year-old and a 37-year-old, violated U.N. sanctions related to the Libyan civil war by attempting to sell Chinese military equipment to Libya. This equipment included large drones capable of carrying multiple missiles.
