The officer testified that the generator in question is high-tech and is used for military purposes and in generating power for nuclear reactors.<br \/>\nHe added that the defendant forged official papers to ship the generator, and that he told Siemens that the generator would be exported to Myanmar. He also forged the documents to show that the export will be through a company that he owns in Dubai, and that this took place while there were international sanctions on Iran.<br \/>\nThe witness said that the \u00a312 million the defendant received comprised \u00a37 million to buy the generator, and other amounts in commission from Iran. He said the smuggling attempt was planned early on, and the plan was to ship the generator from London to Dubai and then to Myanmar via sea but the direction would change once at sea to head to Iran.<br \/>\nAfter the witness was questioned by court and lawyers, the judge adjourned the case to October 31 to hear the defense.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source: GULF NEWS, 03 Oct. 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Abu Dhabi&#8211; A witness in a case against an Iranian man told the State Security Court at the Federal Supreme Court on Monday that the <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/5754\/\" title=\"Man smuggling nuclear parts to Iran received millions through the Iranian agents\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5755,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,5,38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5754","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-iran-world","category-news","category-nuclear"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5754","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5754"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5754\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5756,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5754\/revisions\/5756"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5754"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5754"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5754"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
