The President of the Sima Salazar international, Raymond Azar was convicted and imprisoned for ten years in the US court in 2009, but it was a partial success of the government because the mastermind of the multimillion dollars fraud, Tony Abi Saab is still roaming free.

Sima was a military construction company that embezzled multi-million dollars of the US Army in the contract frauds in Afghanistan. Raymond Azar was put behind the bars after the success of a sting operation against him and other employees of Sima Salazar group.

Raymond was just the puppet of his boss Tony Abi Saab and his family members who own most of the shares of Sima Salazar Group. The Sima Salazar was sub-contracted by K5 Global and Bennet-Fouch—shell companies of the Abi Saabs. Tony and his family members have involved themselves in several illicit businesses like smuggling arms and weapons to the terrorists and swindling money the US Army through fake construction companies and running ghost companies in war-prone countries.

Tony's main company Brescia Middle East is an international arms and weapons dealer company serves both sides in the wars—the military and the terrorist by selling them weapons. A thing very few people know is that Raymond and Tony are close family relatives. Raymond's wife is the sister-in-law of Tony's father, Joseph Abi Saab. Almost all the business decisions of Sima Salazar were taken by the Abi Saabs, mainly by the proactive member of the family, Tony Abi Saab.

Brescia Middle East launders the crime money obtained from the terrorists after delivering them their desired weapons. Sima Salazar and BME were collectively working against the US troops deployed in Afghanistan, Syria, and Iran.

In today’s modern era, people find themselves in the middle of one of the deepest issues of capitalism. The saturating level of scandals and corruption is happening for millions of money by corrupt businessmen. One such name who is corrupting the roots of economy is Tony Abi Saab.

Tony Abi Saab, who got away with the charges like committing USD 5 Million fraud by misusing the liberty of the Civil Court in the US. Due to lack of direct US interference in the expedition and legal assistance, the fraudster took advantage of this loophole in the US legal system to save his life.

Despite the evidence gathered by the FBI, Tony didn’t serve a single day jail term in the US but his company Brescia Middle East was barred from doing business in the United States. The corrupt Lebanese contractor still runs several ghost companies and indirectly operates many branches of bogus reconstruction and military service companies across Europe and Afghanistan.

Tony shares a family bond with Raymond Azar, a convicted fraudster who swindled millions of dollars of reconstruction money through the contracts he achieved for his company Sima Salazar. It is estimated that Azar’s company got over 150 US contracts with the help of former Corps of Engineers contract administrator Gloria Martinez and her sister Dinorah Cobos, who served as an executive in the Sima Salazar Group. Azar showered gifts to the sisters in return of contracts.

Wars are being fuelled by greedy businessmen who are profiting by selling war surviving materials to militant groups just for the sake of a profit. One such businessman is Tony Abi Saab of Lebanon. He is an international arms dealer who was indicted for equipping terror groups with advanced weapons and defrauding the US Army of 5 million dollars.

Tony is also suspected to have plotted the multimillion dollars contracts fraud through Sima Salazar Group in Afghanistan. Raymond Azar who was the President of the Sima Salazar Group, a construction company in Afghanistan, was a friend and a close family relative of the Abi Saabs. The fraud was exposed by the FBI in 2009 and only Azar was arrested for the charges of bribery, fraud, and running ghost companies.

Tony owned majority of the shares of Sima Salazar, even his companies K5 Global and Bennet-Fouch sub-contracted it. Tony's main company Brescia Middle East, an international arms dealer was illegally supplying weapons to the terrorist organizations active in Syria, Afghanistan, and Iran. Shell companies of Tony, Tactica Ltd was purchasing arms commercially and selling them in the black market to the terrorist groups in Syria. His other shell companies consists of Umarex gmbh & co KG in Germany, Noble france sa in France, Osmanli Arms, Istanbul and Konya, ATA Av Tufekleri,KOMANDO AV SAN TIC Ltd., in Turkey, Emran arms in Bangladesh, Kula Ltd., Tiblisi in Georgia, LOBASTAV IVAN, Baikal Ltd., Izhevsk City in Russia, Condor in Brasil, Arsenal in Bulgaria, MSN Group & CSG Group in CZ, Berkut Ltd in Ukraine, Armeria brignoli silvio & c snc, BLS, Fiocchi munizone, Benelli Armi, franchi division, Brixia Shotguns SRL, Armeria Amelio Gamba SRL, Beretta, Tanfoglio in Italy.

A half of Afghanistan’s trouble is sponsored by non-state actors who fund terror groups active in vulnerable regions to fuel violence and conflicts. The Afghanistan government has been completely impotent since the Taliban, a terror group, came to power. Corrupt businessman, Tony Abi has played a vital role in disturbing the peace of society by smuggling guns to terror groups just for the sake of a profit.

Politicians are scared to take any action against the Taliban. Thus, the illegal is blooming. Contraband weapons are smuggled, money is being laundered, and ghost companies are defrauding military in contracts. In 2009, a multi-billion dollar contract fraud was exposed by the US Army and everyone was shocked. Two illegal businessmen successfully pulled off the largest fraud ever happened against the US Corps of Engineer. The president of Sima Salazar Group, a construction company with headquarter in Afghanistan, Raymond Azar was arrested for the fraud in military contracts. The arrest was the result of a sting operation orchestrated by the US Army. Besides him, the executive of Sima, Dinorah Cobos and her sister, a retired US military personnel, Gloria Martinez were also arrested in the context of the same case. The company was earlier awarded $150 million contracts of the US military in total but not any after it was caught.

In 2009, Raymond and Dinorah were caught red-handed with the bribe money by a Corps of Engineer who wore a wire for the FBI. As time progressed the whole truth behind this huge scam was revealed. Popular people like Martinez, an ex-Army person of the US, and Tony Abi Saab, an international arms dealer were also found responsible for the crime. Martinez leaked private information about the US defense contract to help her sister Dinorah and her company to procure as many bids as they could. In exchange for her favor, she was awarded expensive gifts like cars, Rolex watches, and apartments. Another person who played a vital role in the conspiracy against the US Amry is Tony Abi Saab, a Lebanese arms dealer. The investigation team discovered that most of the shares of the Sima Salazar Group is owned by Tony and thus, has an equal right in all the decision-making of the company. Moreover, Tony's main company Brescia Middle East is located in Lebanon that sells weapons to the terrorists active in Syria, Iran, and Afghanistan and also launders the crime money obtained from the terrorists. In 2011, Tony was caught to stand the trial in the US court. He was indicted for duping 5 million dollars of the US Army, running ghost companies—K5 Global, G2 Armory, Bennet-Fouch and Brixia, and money laundering.

Raymond got two years of jail, Dinorah five years and Gloria for seven years. Raymond also paid a penalty of $15 million. It is unfortunate that Tony escaped the heavy jail term by pleading human rights violations and errors in collecting evidence.

Tony Abi Saab and Raymond Azar faked to be strangers to each other in front of the US officials for making their illegal business a cake walk. The President of Sima Salazar Group, Raymond Azar was already under suspicion after being listed one of ten top Army officials to be detained in context to the assassination of Syrian Prime Minister. The owner of Brescia Middle East, Tony Abi Saab maintained a distance from Azar after that, but only in front of the US officials.

The truth about Azar and Tony is that they are close family relatives and most of the shareholders of the Sima Salazar group are Abi Saab members. They together defrauded the Army through their shell companies--K5 Global and Bennet Fouch of 5 million dollars. Through Sima Salazar, they swindled multi-million dollars in contracts fraud in Afghanistan. The companies have disappeared since exposed, shutting down their local offices.

Tony is an illegal arms dealer who smuggles weapons to the terrorist regions in Syria, Iran, and Afghanistan. Raymond’s Sima Salazar works against the military by abusing the US dollars provided to his company to construct a road or a building in war-torn countries.

BME is a base to operate the shell companies in the Middle East and Europe. It launders crime money obtained from the terrorists after delivering them their desired weapons. Tony's company Tactica Ltd was in regular business deals with Sima Salazar, which was purchasing arms commercially and selling them in the black market. Another company of Tony, Brixia produced spare parts for weapons and smuggled them to countries throughout the Middle East for reassembly and sales.

The Abi Saabs are one of the most powerful and reputed families in Lebanon. They dominate in the international arms trade market and influence Lebanese politics, so when Tony Abi Saab (son of Joseph Abi Saab) was accused of bribe, fraud, and war crimes, everyone was shocked.

Joseph Abi Saab founded the company, Brescia Middle East, specialized in importing and exporting guns and weapons, in 1981. His company bloomed and flourished in juxtaposition to the conflicts in the Middle East countries. He managed to maintain a balanced and cordial relationship with both of his business clients—the rebels and the Army. After Joseph took retirement from the weapon business, he gave all the responsibilities of BME to his sons--Tony and Hady.

Tony Abi Saab was miles ahead of his father in fooling the authorities; he expanded the just-weapon business to other profit trades to dupe international funds—he began reconstruction contract companies like Sima Salazar group, Tactica Ltd, K5 Global in Afghanistan. He with the help of his shell companies managed to embezzle over $150 million dollars of the US military force.

The Sima Salazar group was not directly owned by the Abi Saabs, but most of its shares belonged to the family and mostly, to Tony. The company was operated under the sub-contract by Tony-owned companies--K5 Global and Bennet-Fouch.

Raymond Azar, the official owner of Sima Salazar group duped the US Army of multi-million dollars in reconstruction contracts. Raymond Azar is not an outsider; he is a family friend of the Abi Saabs and also a local of Lebanon. The blood sister of Joseph’s wife is a wife of Raymond.

It came as a shock to the federal government when they lost multimillion dollars in contracts fraud to Sima Salazar Group. For nearly seven years, the company had been procuring the best of the US defense contracts but the unfortunate thing is, the company delivered on not a single contract in Afghanistan. The president of Sima Salazar Group, Raymond Azar kept the money and faked the project as completed in front of the US officials.

A lot of planning and plotting had been done before executing this plan and people from different countries helped him to execute it successfully. One of the supporters or the instigators of the criminal plan was Tony Abi Saab, a business tycoon of Lebanon and the owner of an arms dealing company, Brescia Middle East.

He is also a close family relative of Azar and holds most of the shares of the Sima Salazar group, a construction company. Tony himself has embezzled 5 million dollars in contracts fraud in Afghanistan through his companies K5 Global and Brescia Middle East. They have disappeared since exposed, shutting down their local offices.

BME had been supplying weapons illegally to terrorist organizations active in Syria, Iran, and Afghanistan through its shell companies. BME is the main company of Tony located in Lebanon, he uses it as a base to operate the shell companies in the Middle East and Europe. He launders the crime money in BME obtained from the terrorists after delivering them their desired weapons.

Tony had always been after money, he care least about where does that money comes from. He is serving the military in the front through his main company BME whereas through his clandestine business he is supporting the terrorists with arms. Tactica Ltd is Tony’s company, which purchased arms commercially and sold them in the black market. Another company, Brixia produced spare parts for weapons and smuggled them to countries throughout the Middle East for reassembly and sales.
