Description:

Hashemi allegedly participated in a conspiracy to illegally export to Iran computer numerical control (CNC) machines, which are used to process raw materials, such as metals, to precise standards. The CNC machines at issue in this case are export-controlled for nuclear non-proliferation and anti-terrorism reasons. Hashemi purchased CNC machines and related equipment from suppliers in the United States and Canada, made arrangements to ship the machines to the United Arab Emirates under false and forged invoices and packing lists, and then arranged to forward the machines from the UAE to Iran. Hashemi purchased the machines on behalf of a Tehran-based company identified in the indictment as “Company A,” an outfit that claimed to manufacture textiles, medical and automotive components, and spare parts.
