June 21, 2018

An Iranian businessman schemed to illegally export from Illinois aluminum tubing used in the missile and aerospace industries, according to an indictment made public Thursday in federal court in Chicago.

The size and type of aluminum was subject to U.S. regulations covering nuclear nonproliferation purposes, the indictment alleged.

The alleged smuggling plot by Saeed Valadbaigi of Iran in 2011 was part of an effort to evade U.S. laws and export-control regulations, the charges alleged.

Valadbaigi, 56, who is considered a fugitive, was charged in the eight-count indictment in July 2016 in federal court in Chicago. The indictment was ordered unsealed Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Thomas Durkin, court records show.
