MIAMI — A man accused of a scheme to illegally ship nearly $300 million in Chinese-made ammunition to the Afghan military has entered a plea agreement that recommends he serve just two years of probation.
The deal with Efraim Diveroli, 23, of Miami Beach drops 84 counts of wrongdoing in exchange for his guilty plea to a conspiracy charge. In addition to probation, he will also be fined $500,000.
Diveroli’s AEY Inc. was awarded a $298 million Army contract to provide the ammunition to Afghanistan. The contract forbade exporting Chinese ammunition, but prosecutors say the company did that anyway, saying the rounds were from Albania.
Sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 10.
