BROKER FOR ISRAELI ARMS TO MYANMAR ARRESTED IN THAILAND – ACCUSED OF DRUG DEALING, MONEY LAUNDERING
On 26 October, Haaretz reported that a corporation in Myanmar implicated in crime and corruption – whose top executives were arrested in Thailand on drug and money laundering charges – is said to have served as a middleman between Israeli arms exporters and the military junta ruling Myanmar. The UK imposed sanctions on the corporation, Star Sapphire Trading, for its ties to the Myanmar army during the ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya.
