2011 (I think) article by ABC news https://abcnews.go.com/WNT/Investigation/story?id=131728&page=1

Documents obtained by ABCNEWS show the U.S. had enough evidence in 1997 to put his company, Khan Research Laboratory, on a kind of U.S. blacklist for suspected illegal activity. The U.S. Commerce Department barred American companies from selling Khan's company any materials that might have nuclear or military applications.

Network Extended to Europe

The black market's trail stretched all the way to Europe. U.S. officials say a key to the black market was a small, family-run company in the Swiss canton of St. Gallen.

It was there, officials say, that Swiss engineers helped to design 14 key parts of the centrifuge sent to Libya to produce the bomb's fuel, enriched uranium.

Investigators say Urs Tinner, one of the engineers, took the designs to the Malaysian factory and supervised manufacturing.

Tinner, who admits his father has been connected to Kahn for more than a decade, said he had no idea the work he did was connected to the nuclear black market.

"We make parts like, let's say, every other company in Switzerland," he told ABCNEWS. "Mechanical shops. It is always the same."

But U.S. officials say Tinner's operation was a lot more than just another Swiss machine shop.

"He was the key sparkplug to make sure that these 14 types of centrifuge components were made and then delivered. And then [he would] clean up the operation, take out all the centrifuge drawings," said David Albright, president of the Institute for Science and International Security in Washington, D.C.

perhaps I was wrong about George Webb… hmm…
