Viktor Bout, the infamous Russian arms dealer, who was released in a prisoner exchange for WNBA star Brittney Griner, has reportedly resurfaced in the arms trade arena. According to sources, Bout, also known as the 'Merchant of Death,' is now engaged in negotiations with Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen.
At 57 years old, Bout, who currently serves as a local politician in Russian President Vladimir Putin's party, is said to have met with Houthi representatives in Moscow in August. The discussions allegedly revolved around a potential arms deal amounting to $10 million for small arms.
