According to the 2018 Global Terrorism Index (GTI), deaths from terrorism have reduced. Although the number of deaths from terrorism has fallen considerably over the last three years, new threats continue to emerge. Countries like Afghanistan, Iran, and Syria are still suffering from terrorism. But the question is who are the people supporting these noxious terrorist activities?

There are numerous non-state actors who for the sake of their benefits support terrorist groups in war-torn countries. Tony Abi Saab is one such dangerous businessman who is fulfilling terrorist’s objectives and demands by providing them illegal arms and ammunition.

Tony Abi Saab is the owner of Brescia Middle East, an international arms and weapons dealing company. He supplies dangerous explosives to rebel groups to earn tax-free profit out of it. Tony is a lawbreaker who is equipping terrorists with hi-tech weapons and related items like bullets, detonators for explosives to inflict pain against the civilians. Tony’s company, Brixia produced spare parts for weapons and smuggled them to countries throughout the Middle East for reassembly and sales. He also supplied pistols and machine guns to Daesh through Turkey.

Arms trafficking is conducted by private entities like Tony Abi Saab to the terror groups. These reckless movements of contraband weapons are the biggest reasons for violence and conflict, as they take place under the nose of NATO and the United Nation.

Tony Abi Saab from Lebanon is an arms smuggler, fraudster, money launderer, and criminal. The US has banned Tony’s main company Brescia Middle East that deals in arms smuggling and his fake companies—K5 Global, Brixia, Bennet-Fouch, and G2Armory, from doing any business there. Tony, being a clever businessman, puts millions of innocent lives at stake by doing trade with terror groups. His company BME launders illegal money which he obtains by selling guns and weapons to the rebel groups. As per the information received by the US Army from their local sources, Tony was importing arms from Italy and selling them in the black market to terrorist groups in Syria. His company, Brixia, produced spare parts for weapons and smuggled them to the countries throughout the Middle East. The hard cash and illegal weapons trespass easily through the border Lebanon’s neighbouring countries like Syria, Iran, Libya, and Afghanistan. The US Army doubted the extravagant figures in BME’s local and foreign bank accounts, this made them keep an eye on Tony. After a month of investigation, the Army knew there is something awry in his arms and weapons business--a sting operation orchestrated against Tony by FBI, CIA and the US Army. Tony was caught red-handed and was brought before the US court to stand the trial. His fake companies K5 Global, Brixia, Tactica-Ltd and G2 Armory were indicted for defrauding the US Army of $5 million, and BME was charged for money laundering and supplying weapons to the terrorist groups. But sadly, due to a technicality in the circuit court, he got bail from the court.

Tony Abi Saab of Lebanon is an arms dealer who recently made USD $ 5 million through fake contracts.

He is the owner of SIMAINT and Brescia Middle East who seized government contracts, undertook partial work on the contract and bribed, cheated or lied to get paid in full. US Agencies found out hosts involved in illegal activities were getting weapons via the same contractor.

Tony has masked himself as a genuine legal arms trader in Lebanon whereas in reality he is encouraging terror in war-torn countries by supplying weapons to ISIS and other groups with weapons and guns. Tony’s core business was to supply non-state actors involved in illegal with weapons other military accessories. When the American agencies were made aware and drew the connection an elaborate sting operation was planned and it was successful. This major sting operation led to the arrest of Tony Abi Saab.

Tony had extremist groups as his clients and to outstretch the arms business he began to supply weapons to them. He set out to build a network of shell companies around the world such as in Italy: ARMERIA AMELIO GAMBA Srl, INTESA SANPAOLO S.P.A., Benelli Armi, franchi division, Fiocchi munizione, Armeria brignoli silvio & c snc , BLS — Germany: Umarex gmbh & co KG — France: Noble france sa — Turkey: Osmanli Arms, ISTANBUL and KONYA, KOMANDO AV SAN TIC LTD, ATA Av tufekleri — Bangladesh: Emran arms, — East Europe and Russia: Kula Ltd., Tiblisi - Georgia, LOBASTOV IVAN, Baikal Ltd, Izhevsk city, Russia, Arsenal, Bulgaria, MSN and CSG Group, Czech Republic, Berkut Ltd and Ukraine — Brasil: Condor to initiate illegal trade of supplying guns to the war mongers.

Tony Abi Saab of SIMAINT and Brescia Middle East was accused in the United States of a major Government fraud that involved supplying weapons in Syria, Iran, and Libya to terror groups. He defrauded the government of millions of dollars, used a fake identity of Sarah Lee to win contracts, conspired, bribed and supplied weapons to terrorists.

In 2011, the US special investigation team caught red-handed the fraudster through a major sting operation. Tony Abi Saab was being monitored and the US found out he has been supplying weapons to the rebel groups who were responsible for killings of thousands of innocents.

Luckily, Tony proved to be very smart and worked the US justice system in his favour to walk away with a minimal penalty. He dragged his case from criminal court to the civil court where he got special benefits that criminals don't have access to. The evidence collected by the American agencies were not valid in the civil court, hence, they couldn't be shown in the court.

Tony Abi Saab is now focused on the EU and is visiting several weapons manufactures in Europe to conduct business. He is bidding on United Nations contracts, spreading his companies around the world including Asia and South America to expand his business reach.

EU border control should monitor the activities and business deals of Tony Abi Saab immediately and ensure that he isn’t planning a repeat of the US Army fraud on EU Soil.

Tony Abi Saab has already established his presence across the European Union by setting up companies in Germany: Umarex gmbh & co KG — France: Noble france sa  — Turkey: Osmanli Arms, ISTANBUL and KONYA, KOMANDO AV SAN TIC LTD, ATA Av tufekleri with partnership with companies in Italy: ARMERIA AMELIO GAMBA Srl, INTESA SANPAOLO S.P.A., Benelli Armi, franchi division, Fiocchi munizione, Armeria brignoli silvio & c snc , BLS, Turkey: Osmanli Arms, ISTANBUL and KONYA, KOMANDO AV SAN TIC LTD, ATA Av tufekleri — Bangladesh: Emran arms, — East Europe and Russia: Kula Ltd., Tiblisi - Georgia, LOBASTOV IVAN, Baikal Ltd, Izhevsk city, Russia, Arsenal, Bulgaria, MSN and CSG Group, Czech Republic, Berkut Ltd, Ukraine — Brasil: Condor. Tony is also planning to open bank accounts in the EU.

US contractors who commit crimes will have no combat immunity under international law if they engage in hostilities and are subject to U.S. prosecution under criminal statutes. But the Afghan contractors or contractors from nearby countries working in war zones freely commits a crime and quickly get away with it. This is the reason behind corruption inflation in Afghanistan.

Tony got away easily without serving a jail-term whereas Raymond got imprisonment for 10 years. Tony’s company Brescia Middle East, an international arms dealing company sells weapons to terrorist groups in Syria, Afghanistan, and Iran. Tony, through his shell companies K5 Global and Bennet-Fouch, defrauded the US military for 5 million USD.
