22-year old with history of domestic abuse reportedly was awarded $300m Pentagon contract to supply
Posted by Jeff from Guardian UK
The Pentagon entrusted a 22-year old previously arrested for domestic violence and having a forged driving licence to be the main supplier of ammunition to Afghan forces at the height of the battle against a resurgent Taliban, it was reported today. AEY, essentially a one-man operation based in an unmarked office in Miami Beach, was awarded a contract worth $300m to supply the Afghan army and police in January last year. The New York Times broke this story earlier today after a lengthy investigation. AEY's president, Efraim Diversoli, 22, supplied stock that was 40 years old and rotting packing material. The vice president of the company was a masseuse.
