made earlier that there were, based upon the information

9 ownership interest in any such weapons, if they do in fact
10 exist and did in fact exist before, or do you claim an
11 interest in such weapons, if they in fact exist?
12 A I really don't know how to answer that. l don't
... 13 know. It's a legal point that I can't---

(
14 Q I have no objection to you conferring with
15 counsel or, if counsel wants to state a position.

18
the weapons are there and have been there all this time?

MR. ANDREWS: His position is t_hey were never

deliverjd, as agreed.under the contract. Whether they
22
are in Portugal or not is of little'or no .consequence.

HR. RICHMAN: I think '"hat is pertinent to the issue

9 Q Do you have any facts or any information whatsoever
10 indicating that Mr. Soghanalian would leave this jurisdiction
11 or intends to leave the jurisdiction of the State of~Florida,
12 which is one of the allegations made in the complaint?
Only an opinion, no facts. •'

··:~·;:~::~~· 13 A
14 I'm sorry. I didn't answer the question.

20
charges were determined at that outside ·figure of $76,000,
21
do you know how that figure was arrived at?

Q Do you have any information in your line of
5
business as to what freight charges customarily are from
6
point to point or how that is determined, or do you simply
7
accept what is tendered to you?
8
A Well, eacb case must be taken on its own merit.
9 Q For instance, when somebody tells you, "It ~s
10
$76,000. That is what we normally char~e here," ~ould you
11 just accept it at face value2 "That is what you say '" it is.
12 I will pay the $76,000," or do you make inqu1ry •lsewhere
.......
- 13 to determine whether ·it is reasonable or e.xhorb'itant?
'14 A He explained to me that it would include

1S ·connections. from the factories in America and the flight· to

16 Hauritania.

was no specific route revealed to me.

20 freight or was the cost· of the plane to go from---
21 A On a ferry leg. It was all in the cost.

3
A It was impossible for me to do that because Hr.

6 Q In your other exp~rience in arms dealing, is that
7 no~mally the kind of case on shipping arms, that you just
8 do not inquir~ past a certain point?
9 A I tbink if it is acceptable by the purchasing
10 country as a round figure, then l think too many inquiries
11 may lead a supplier to suppose you are nagging them for
12 othe_r reasons.

14 business ~nd there are some questions you ask and some

5 You have ~dentified a letter, being D~fendants'
I'

7 Sogbanalian in Miami, Florida, .and I call your -attention

8 to the next ~o the last paragraph. I am going to ~ead it.

10 that I. have secured tbe position by the only·means
11 I know-namely the pockets of a number of. people~"
12 ~hat did you ~ean by tbat, i ! Jou can now tell us?

............. 2
Q My question was, and I have read to you this
.
(
3
paragraph, and you say "I have secured my position by tbe
4
only means I know-namely the pockets of ·a number of people."
5
Is that what you meant that to mean, that _you would reduce
6 the price from $9,000 to $8,600?
7 A Yes.
8 Q Is.there any other,reason for using that particular
9 type of language' in that letter to Mr. Soghanalian?
10 A Yes, there was.
i1 Q What reason, if any, would that have been?
12 A In my discussion with Mr. Bigaignon, he constantly
......., 13 referred to whether Hr. Soghanalian was a trustworthy person
14 to place business with and I ·had no reason to doubt Mr.
I
15 Soghanalian's business position in the matter, b~t Mr.
16 Bigaignon was very concerned that Hr. Soghanalian would try
17 to· approach the Go~ernment of Mauritania direct.
18 It was an indication that I Has trying to convey
f9 to Mr. Soghanalian that we were very closely positioned with

..
20 the Mauritanian Government so that he would not, in fact,
21 try to circumvent our organization.
22 Q Again, the words ."namely the pockets of a number
'23 of people," did you in fact cause any monies or favors to be
24 afforded to any persons, any number of people, anywhere in
25 Mauritania, or otherwise concerning the transaction you

'3 Q Those words are capable of that interpretation,
4 are .there not?
5 A Yes, they are.
6 Q Did you mean them to be interpreted in that manner?
7 'A I_ meant an_ implication to be made.
8 Q Why did you wish .to i_mply that?
9 A I had ·no way of guaranteeing Hr. ·Soghanalian would

'
10 .not ·approach the government people d'i_rec_t and by i.mplying a
11 ver_y, very close liaison; maybe more close than we actually
12 did enjoy, I was endeavoring to prevent_ ~1_r. Soghanal_ian '.s
......... 13 inclination i~ that respect.

4 Q With regard to your statement that the inference

6 did you not, .sir?

7 A Yes, .,I did.
8 Q , In effect, what you were doing in dealing with
9 ~r. Soghanalian ·was lying to hi_m with respect to this
10 transaction, were you not?
11 A No. I didn 1 t intend direct lies to be made to
12 Mr. Sogbanalian.

14 A ~t depends on how the inference -is drawn.

16 exactly that inference?

WARPLANES ARE ROUTINELY HITTING CIVILIAN TARGETS, ESPECIALLY IN
BAGHDAD- HE SAID "THERE IS NO QUESTION" THAT MUCH OF THE NON-

CAUSED BY IRAQI ANTI-AIRCRAFT MISSILES THAT MISSED THEIR MARK AND
FELL BACK TO EARTH. SPEAKING TO,A SMALL GROUP OF JOURNALISTS,
SCHWARZKOPF SAID U.S. PILOTS, WHO HAVE FLOWN MORE THAN 40,000
SORTIES, ARE TAKING °EXTRAORD1NARY" CARE, BEYOND ANYTHING IN THE
HISTORY OF AIR WARFARE, TO AVOID CIVILIAN CASUALTIES. HE SAID THE
AIR STRIKES HAVE SO DISRUPTED IRAQ'S MILITARY COMMUNICATIONS AND
COMMAND STRUCTURE THAT SENIOR OFFICERS ARE MOVING THEIR
HEADQUARTERS INTO SCHOOLS BECAUSE "THEY KNOW WE'RE NOT GOING TO
ATTACK CIVILIAN TARGETS." ASKED WHETHER THAT INHIBITED HIS
ABILITY TO ATTACK, SCHWARZKOPF SAID, "IN ALL PROBABILITY, YES."

MOVIES; THE 56-YEAR-OLD COMMANDER SAID: 'GUYS IN WHITE HATS DON'T
DO THAT. GUYS IN BLACK HATS ARE ALLOWED TO SHOOT PEOPLE IN THE
BACK, HIDE BEHIND ROCKS; ALL THAT SORT OF STUFF. WE ARE A MORAL
AND ETHICAL PEOPLE, AND I LIKE TO THINK 1 AM, AND THEREFORE WE`RE
NOT GOING TO DO BUSINESS THAT WAY. THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION IS,

OURSELVES TO THAT LEVEL OF MORAL CONDUCT JUST TO EVEN THE SCORE."

Q: UPDATE ON POLITICAL CRISIS IN PERU, REBELLION OF ARMY
LIEUTENANT COLONEL? IS PRESIDENT FUJIMORI IN CHARGE? HOW
SERIOUS ARE THE THREATS TO HIS GOVERNMENT FROM THE PERUVIAN
MILITARY AND EX-INTELLIGENCE ADVISER VLADIMIRO MONTESINOS?
A: PRESIDENT FUJIMORI HAS TAKEN ACTION TO UNDERSCORE THAT
CONSTITUTIONAL ORDER AND CIVILIAN RULE WILL BE MAINTAINED
DURING THIS TIME OF POLITICAL CRISIS. HE HAS REPLACED THE
MILITARY HIGH COMMAND AND THE MILITARY HAS ACCEPTED THIS

DECISION APPARENTLY WITHOUT PROTEST. THE PERUVIAN ARMED

FORCES HAVE AFFIRMED THEIR ALLEGIANCE TO CONSTITUTIONAL
ORDER AND WE EXPECT THEY WILL HONOR THAT COMMITMENT.
PRESIDENT FUJIMORI HAS TAKEN ACTION AGAINST THE INFLUENCE OF
EX-INTELLIGENCE ADVISER MONTESINOS BY REASSIGNING MILITARY
OFFICERS BELIEVED TO BE SUPPORTIVE OF MONTESINOS, AND HE HAS
ORDERED A SEARCH TEAM TO LOCATE MR. MONTESINOS AND TURN HIM
OVER TO JUDICIAL AUTHORITIES.
THE PROTEST ACTION BY A SINGLE MILITARY UNIT IN SOUTHERN
PERU APPEARS TO BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT INVOLVING A
DISGRUNTLED ARMY LIEUTENANT COLONEL. HIS CALLS FOR
NATIONWIDE MILITARY ACTION HAVE NOT MATERIALIZED AND THE
ARMY HAS CONDEMNED HIS INSUBORDINATION AND SENT UNITS TO
ARREST HIM AND HIS REMAINING FOLLOWERS.
Q: WHAT ABOUT STATEMENTS BY THE POLITICAL OPPOSITION
PRAISING THE ACTIONS BY THE ARMY LIEUTENANT COLONEL?
DOESN'T THIS SHOW THAT FUJIMORI'S PRESIDENCY IS ILLEGITIMATE
AND HE SHOULD STEP DOWN NOW?
A: WHILE WE CONTINUE TO BELIEVE THE ELECTORAL PROCESS WHICH
RETURNED PRESIDENT FUJIMORI TO OFFICE WAS DEEPLY FLAWED,
PRESIDENT FUJIMORI HAS TAKEN SEVERAL POSITIVE STEPS OVER THE
PAST WEEKS TOWARDS RESTORING DEMOCRACY. WE EXPECT PRESIDENT
FUJIMORI TO UPHOLD HIS COMMITMENT TO HOLD NEW ELECTIONS, IN
WHICH HE WILL NOT RUN, AND TO STEP DOWN IN JULY WHEN A NEW
PRESIDENT IS INAUGURATED.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE PERUVIAN POLITICAL
OPPOSITION CONTINUES TO ENGAGE IN DIALOGUE WITH THE
GOVERNMENT THROUGH THE OAS-SPONSORED TALKS ON DEMOCRATIC
REFORM. APRIL 8, 2001 HAS BEEN AGREED UPON AS THE DATE FOR
NEW ELECTIONS AND DISCUSSION NOW FOCUSES ON REFORMS TO THE
ELECTORAL AND JUDICIAL SYSTEMS.
--PERU: EX-INTELLIGENCE ADVISER MONTESINOS IMPLICATED IN

ARMS TRAFFICKING TO COLOMBIAN GUERRILLAS --
Q: COMMENT ON STATEMENTS BY ARMS DEALER SARKIS SOGHANALIAN
THAT FORMER PERUVIAN SPY CHIEF MONTESINOS BROKERED THE.SALE
OF WEAPONS FROM JORDAN TO PERU, AND THEN DIVERTED THEM TO
THE COLOMBIAN FARC GUERRILLAS?
A: THERE HAVE BEEN ALLEGATIONS FROM VARIOUS SOURCES THAT
MR. MONTESINOS FACILITATED THIS ARMS SMUGGLING RING. THIS
IS AN ISSUE FOR THE JUDICIAL AUTHORITIES IN PERU TO HANDLE
AND THE GOVERNMENT OF PERU HAS NOW APPOINTED THREE SPECIAL

PROSECUTORS TO INVESTIGATE VARIOUS CHARGES AGAINST

MR. MONTESINOS, INCLUDING CHARGES OF CORRUPTION. WE WILL
FOLLOW THIS INVESTIGATION CLOSELY.
Q: WAS PRESIDENT FUJIMORI AWARE OF THIS ARMS DEAL?
DIDN'T HE AND MONTESINOS WORK HAND IN HAND?
A: WE ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY EVIDENCE LINKING PRESIDENT
FUJIMORI TO THIS SALE. THE GOVERNMENT OF PERU HAS STATED
THAT THE PURCHASERS OF THE WEAPONS MISREPRESENTED THEMSELVES
AS AGENTS OF THE PERUVIAN GOVERNMENT AND USED FORGED
DOCUMENTS STATING THAT THE PERUVIAN MILITARY WAS THE
INTENDED END USER.
Q: WAS THE USG AWARE OF THE SALE?
A: PRIOR TO THE SIGNING OF THE CONTRACT, THE JORDANIAN
GOVERNMENT ASKED THE UNITED STATES WHETHER WE WOULD OBJECT
TO WHAT THE JORDANIANS BELIEVED WAS A LEGITIMATE ARMS SALE
TO THE GOVERNMENT OF PERU. WE HAD NO REASON AT THAT TIME TO
BELIEVE THE SALE WAS ILLEGITIMATE.
SUBSEQUENT INFORMATION MADE IT CLEAR THAT THE GOVERNMENT OF
PERU WAS NOT THE INTENDED END USER AND THAT THE SALE WAS
THEREFORE ILLEGITIMATE. WE UNDERSTAND THAT AS SOON AS THE
JORDANIAN GOVERNMENT BECAME AWARE OF A PROBLEM, IT ACTED
QUICKLY TO TERMINATE THE CONTRACT. INFORMATION REGARDING
THE SALE WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE PERUVIAN
AUTHORITIES. ARRESTS THEN TOOK PLACE.
Q: DID THE USG CONSULT WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF PERU PRIOR TO
THE SALE?
A: THE U.S. HAD NO REASON TO CONSULT PERU ABOUT THESE THIRD
PARTY SALES. IT WOULD BEST TO INQUIRE OF THE JORDANIAN
GOVERNMENT OF THEIR OWN CONSULTATIONS. WE DO NOT BROKER
ARMS SALES BETWEEN FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS WHEN U.S. ARMS ARE
NOT INVOLVED. WE HAD NO REASON TO BELIEVE AT THE TIME OF
THE SALE THAT THE TRANSACTION SHOULD BE QUESTIONED.
Q: DID YOU KNOW THE ARMS WERE BEING SUPPLIED TO THE FARC?
DID YOU ADVISE THE COLOMBIAN AUTHORITIES?
A: AS ALREADY NOTED, WE DID NOT KNOW THE TRUE DESTINATION
OF THE ARMS WHEN CONSULTED ABOUT THE CASE. WE HAVE BEEN AND
REMAIN IN CLOSE TOUCH WITH THE COLOMBIA, AS WELL AS PERU AND
JORDAN, ON THIS ISSUE. AS THE COLOMBIAN GOVERNMENT HAS
STATED, IT HAS BEEN TRACKING THE SOURCE OF THE ARMS USED BY
THE FARC AND OTHER ILLEGAL ARMED GROUPS FOR SOME TIME.

Q. WHAT ARE U.S. VIEWS ON THE POSSIBLE POSTPONEMENT OF

HAITI'S ELECTIONS CURRENTLY SET FOR NOVEMBER 26?
A. THE ANNOUNCED DELAY IN HAITI'S UPCOMING PRESIDENTIAL AND
PARTIAL SENATE ELECTIONS APPEARS PRUDENT.
SUCCESSFUL HAITIAN ELECTIONS REQUIRE A NATIONAL DIALOGUE
AMONG HAITI'S POLITICAL ACTORS AND CIVIL SOCIETY GROUPS TO
ADDRESS A SERIOUS ELECTORAL IMPASSE STEMMING FROM
IRREGULARITIES ASSOCIATED WITH LEGISLATIVE AND LOCAL
ELECTIONS HELD ON MAY 21.
THESE IRREGULARITIES INCLUDE A FLAWED VOTE COUNT FOR EIGHT
SENATE SEATS AND A DISCREDITED ELECTORAL COMMISSION, WHICH
IS CHARGED WITH ADMINISTERING ELECTIONS.
IN ADDITION, ADEQUATE LOGISTICAL PREPARATION IS A
PREREQUISITE FOR GOOD ELECTIONS.
HAITIAN POLITICAL LEADERS HAVE THUS FAR FAILED TO REACH AN
AGREEMENT RESOLVING THE ELECTORAL IMPASSE OR UNDERTAKE
ADEQUATE PREPARATION FOR UPCOMING ELECTIONS.
WE URGE THE GOVERNMENT OF HAITI AND HAITI'S POLITICAL
PARTIES TO TAKE THE STEPS NECESSARY TO RESOLVE THE COUNTRY'S
SERIOUS ELECTORAL IMPASSE AND HOLD ELECTIONS IN TIME TO
ENSURE AN ORDERLY TRANSFER OF POWER ON FEBRUARY 7,2001 --AS
MANDATED BY HAITI'S CONSTITUTION.
Q.. WILL THE U.S. SUPPORT HAITI'S UPCOMING ELECTIONS?
A. WE HAVE INDICATED TO THE HAITIAN GOVERNMENT THAT, ABSENT
MEANINGFUL ACTION TO ADDRESS SERIOUS ELECTORAL DEFICIENCIES,
THE UNITED STATES WOULD NOT SUPPORT PRESIDENTIAL AND
LEGISLATIVE ELECTIONS, FINANCIALLY OR THROUGH OBSERVATION
MISSIONS.
Q. WILL THE U.S. TAKE ADDITIONAL MEASURES AGAINST HAITI?
A. IN ADDITION TO WITHHOLDING SUPPORT FOR UPCOMING
ELECTIONS, THE UNITED STATES WOULD FIND IT NECESSARY TO
CHANNEL NEARLY ALL U.S. GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE TO THE PEOPLE
OF HAITI THROUGH PRIVATE AND NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS,
BYPASSING THE GOVERNMENT OF HAITI.
WE WOULD ALSO CLOSELY EXAMINE ANY PROPOSED NEW LOANS AND
GRANTS FOR HAITI FROM INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS,
BALANCING THE NEED FOR A STRONG POLITICAL MESSAGE WITH THE
DESIRE NOT TO PUNISH THE LONG-SUFFERING HAITIAN POPULATION.
Q: IS THE U.S. GIVING UP ON HAITI?
A: NO. THE UNITED STATES HAS WORKED LONG AND HARD TO
SUPPORT THE GROWTH OF DEMOCRACY IN HAITI AND TO IMPROVE
LIVING CONDITIONS FOR ITS PEOPLE. DESPITE OUR DEEP

DISAPPOINTMENT WITH THE INTRANSIGENCE OF THE HAITIAN

GOVERNMENT, WE WILL CONTINUE TO PURSUE OUR INTERESTS IN
HAITI. WE WILL NOT ABANDON THE PEOPLE OF HAITI.
WE WILL REMAIN ENGAGED WITH THE OAS, THE UNITED NATIONS'
"FRIENDS OF HAITI" GROUP, AND OTHERS IN THE INTERNATIONAL
COMMUNITY WHO ARE ENDEAVORING TO ASSIST HAITI TO REMAIN ON
THE PATH OF DEMOCRACY.
2. CA PRESS GUIDANCE, NOVEMBER 1, 2000:
- MEXICO: EVICTION OF AMCITS IN BAJA CALIFORNIA

CONCLUDED --
Q: ANY UPDATE ON THE EVICTION OF SOME 200 AMERICAN

RESIDENTS OF ENSENADA, MEXICO?
A: BY THE END OF THE DAY YESTERDAY (TUES. 10/31), EVICTIONS
BASICALLY CONCLUDED
A SMALL NUMBER OF AMERICANS HAVE MANAGED TO NEGOTIATE WITH
THE NEW LANDOWNERS TO REMAIN TEMPORARILY IN THEIR HOMES
THE GREAT MAJORITY, HOWEVER, HAVE PACKED THEIR BELONGINGS
AND DEPARTED
SOME HAVE PUT THEIR BELONGINGS INTO STORAGE; OTHERS HAVE
RELOCATED DIRECTLY TO THE UNITED STATES
U.S. CONSULAR OFFICIALS FROM BOTH TIJUANA AND MEXICO CITY
CONTINUE TO BE AVAILABLE TO ASSIST HOWEVER POSSIBLE.
Q: DOES THE U.S. GOVERNMENT BELIEVE THE MEXICAN SUPREME
COURT RULING THAT LED TO THESE EVICTIONS WAS CORRECT?
A: THE AMERICAN CITIZEN HOMEOWNERS ARE THE UNFORTUNATE
VICTIMS OF A LAND DISPUTE BETWEEN TWO GROUPS OF MEXICANS.
WE HAD HOPED THAT THE U.S. CITIZENS AND THE MEXICAN CITIZENS
TO WHOM THE MEXICAN SUPREME COURT AWARDED THE LAND WOULD BE
ABLE TO NEGOTIATE A SETTLEMENT.
THIS WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT POSSIBLE FOR MOST FAMILIES.

If Miami's assessment of subject's activities is correct--•

deliberate violations and/or circumventions of u. s. laws where
appropriate--such activity violates a myriad of statutes and
regulations under jurisdiction of numerous federal agencies.
Where subject operates under u. s. corporations and/or uses u. s.
registered aircraft, his activities touch on the jurisdictions
or regulations of Treasury, u. s. Customs, ATF, INS, Commerce,
FAA, State Department Office of Munitions Control, etc., depending
upon the .transaction, commodity(ies), and mode of shipment.

MIAMI RECOMMENDATIONS
b7E
To proceed, M;ami recommends we begin by determining

and ascertaining subject's reported negotiations with Hughes
Helicopter! Bell Helicopter, and Customs Armor Manufacturing •
Co~any. n this regard, these companies should be contacted
·to determine if subject has in fact been a party to negotiations
with these companies and if so, to determine and ascertain subject's
procurement practices and representations.

Determine if that company has been a party to

negotiations for the sale of helicopters to Iraq. Determine
subject's role in the ·negotiations. Ascertain subject's
procurement practices and representations. Determine if
. Bell Helicopter has received "feedback" from its major
suppliers or subcontractors indicating possible contacts
by subject or Iraqi Government officials relating to
equipment, avionics, or weapon systems that fit helicopters

For background of recipients, the Hunchak Party is the

oldest of the three Armenian political parties. The other two
are the Ramgavar Party and the Tashnag Party (ARF). The Hunchak
Party has not been a significant factor in the Armenian community
within the United Stated. Rivalries between the political
parties do exist, but this rivalry is seen only in Lebanon. As
information has not been received by the FBI that indicates the
Hunchak Party aids and abets terrorism, the fBI has no
investigative justification in this area.
Miami is requested to

a strong pro-western influence. Source did nqt ~inA

The re ·ently reported clash between the

Hunchaks and Das na in Beirut brought to mind a similar
clash in 1956, p ecipitated by disagreement over a
political issue, resulting in the deaths of ove r 200
Armenian youth in Beirut. It is important ~o remember
that the Hunchak's and the Dashnags are the only militarily
active political organi zations in modern Armenian history.
Since the advent of the Lebanese civil war, all the
Armenian parties have unified in support o f t he Lebanese

presage a fissure in that unity.

?lease be advised that. I will issue I~D. badges for those of your
organization whose duties require the= to be on the Air Operations Area,
i.e., tug operators, cargo handlers, Supervisory personnel. These should
be peo~le w~o, in the performance of their job, need to leave your lease-
hold area and gOOonto DCAD's AOA. I cannot honor your request for any of
the vehicles listed; you need not enter any of DCAD's Access Cates to gain
access to your leasehold. This can be accomplished directly thro\•eh your
leasehold gate off of 36th Street. Private cars 'are not permitted on the
AOA and cust remain on your leasehold.

Re: Search Request re: Sarkis $oghanalian
Dear Ms~.__ ____,
This letter is to COJ.lfirm our conversation today regarding this office's request for a search
of intelligence files on the above-named subject.
-
This office is conducting a criminal investigation of Sarkis Soghanalian and others in a
·bank fraud and money laundering scheme. This scheme works as follows: a number of
:individuals would recruit various individuals to steal blank cashier's checks from bariks and to
convert the checks into cash by conducti:ng a series of monetary transactions at casinos and other
:financial institutions. At least two such checks were stolen from a' bank and made payable in the
amounts of$300,000 and $3 million. The $3 million ca5hier's check was fraudulently m~de to
T.I.D.R., a company believed to be controlled by Soghanalian, who attempted to cash the check
at a bank in Paris in August 1995.
Through various co-conspirators who have cooperated with the government, and through
other channels,. we have learned that Soghanalian has provided infonnation to the goveriunent 11
H in the paSt. Soghanalian was jndicted ~d found gtiil!Y in tJte_~ly_199Q's for ~?5P.O~ing annsjiL.
.. (\S the Iran-Contra matter. .He has Claimed to have connection with high government officials and
. . . '};- A~t to have provided sensitive infonnation to the government. It is unclear where Soghanalian
,... ·resides pennanep.tiYfliowever, he is"kiiown to spendalot of time in Paris.

It is my belief that there is likely infonnation on Soghanalian in CIA and/or other intelligence
U files which may affect this office's indictment strategies and charging deCisions. One of the ~
claims that Soghanalian may raise is that_!l~~yv'~_operating in somce C5)Vert ~n.telligence_c.apaclty

_piioi.toJndictment. In addition, to the extent tliat there are security concerns relating to any · ,
t indictment of Soghanaliail, 1~wouid li}(~~dresiffi.empreemptive.ly~ ·Hence,Tbelieve that all
lffiee critena'Set1o'itii"lnOS".AKr979o.2ioB are satisfied in this case.
Soghanalian is believed to have been born in Beirut, on February 6, 1929. His ci~izenship
is unknown. He has a social security number of 051 34 1708. His place of residence in
California at one point was 37641 Peacock Circle, Rancho Mirage, CA. "He is believed to have
owned or had an interest in a company named T.I.D.R (believed to be an abbreviation for Trans
International Development Association), a Swiss entity.
In this regard, this office requests that you a5k the relevant components of the intelligence
community to _conduct a search of Sarkis Soghanalian's files to detennine whether Soghanalian
~ has _had or ~-~~!i~liE.?-S an}'.lilatiOiisliip_-wm1~anY:inteiligence. agency.and.whetiier~y.payments 14
(or o_!!!_e~ -~~_ne~_t§__oJ.PIO.IDi$~s)_.have~been.made_to..him. This office plans on indicting
Soghanalian and his co-conspirators in the shortly. A response to this request would enable this
office to address any intelligence issues before presenting the matter to the Grand Jury.

of stolen automobiles. U. S. Customs, Miami, has

conducted .investigations since 1_977 'into violations
by S?ghanalian of U. S. neutrality laws, weapons
violations and 'importation of stolen automobiles.
Soghanalian is considered a major criminal 'target
who, through a variety of means, has eluded success-
ful prosecution, both in the U. S. and in foreign
jurisdictions. .
In July, 1977, Soghanalian entered _into

a positive prosecutive opinion and believes that
this is one of the strongest cases against Soghanalian.
AUSA I I has received Department of b6

Justice approval and funding to travel to England,
Portugal and Mauritania. Preliminary contact with
potential witnesses outside the U. S. indicates
that most will be ameanable to interview but would not
'travel to the U. S. for Federal Grand Jury. They
woul~, howeyy~, agree to travel to the U. S. for trial.
AUSAL Jdesires to ,be avai_lable after the case

suitable for pz:esentation to the Federal Grand Jury.
A draft t~ ndictment has been prepared -in this matter
and AUSA_ bdvises he will present this mat;ter at

of the above travel.

that the sale of these 'helicopters to Kuwait might result in

,. 12/10/82 of $2,585,366
Pan Aviation provided a security deposit on behalf of the Iraqi
Government to expedite shipment of the contract supplies. The
amount provided to Hughes, based on early estimates of the first
shipment value, was $2,950,000. The actual first shipment value
was $2,804,055. The commission owed to Pan Aviation for the first
• shipment was calculated at $218,689 which amount was returned to
"
Pan Aviation along with a refund of $145,945 representing an
overpayment resulting from estimated vs. actual first shipment
value.
Pan Aviation has now been repaid the $2,585,366 pursuant to the
12/10/82 letter agreement and an additional payment of $218,689
which was owed d~e to an error in computing the commission and
-~-
, -~o---"'~>refund. ~-'I'he,-error~wa~-:made - ' when -the '~$218, 689 " commission ~ amount -~ ,-- -, --~ -
was inadvertently deducted from the first shipment value.

first eight 'shipments, some of which was paid in cash as an
accomodation to cover the cost of fuel and related expenses of the
carrier. (See second attachment entitled nIRAQ CONTRACT".) No

Reference Cleveland teletype to Miami, 12/4/84;
BIHQ teletype to Cleveland and Miami, 12/10/84; Cleveland
EC/Tefephone call to Miami, 12/4/84.
As information was received at Cleveland by telephone
ear SOB 12/4/84 and travel by subject ·to 'Iraq was allegedly to
ave taken place the morning of 12/5/84, Cleveland notiJied
iami promptly by secure telephone and followed up with information.
nadvertently, a copy of that communication was not furnished to FBIH •
Because of recent intellJgence information concerning
eported preparations by SHIITE Terrorist elements in Iraq
o conduct suicide bomb attacks on U.S. Embassies or other U.S.
is~ions i ,n .I,raq, utilizing . special light aircraft, the
pparent mystery surrounding alleged recruitment of subject as a
elJcopter piJot, particularly in the wake of recent U.s. diplomatic
recognition of the Government of Iraq (GOI) through which military
~
id to I,raq might easi,ly be arranged by the GOI, Cleveland expressed '
pinion regarding that possibility as potential guide to questioning
