Before we begin to discuss the money laundering operations and fraud operations of Viktor But, one more aspect of arms trading must be discussed.
It is clear to even the most casual observer that arms trafficking and the purchase and sale of arms and weapons of war are regulated by international laws and treaties, as well as the laws of various nations. For example, in the United States, the interstate sale of arms, ammunition and lethal weapons are generally controlled by, among other laws, the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution and various laws under the United States Code. Violations of these laws can result in extreme criminal penalties, both under Federal law and the laws of the various states. It is not possible to simply "buy and sell" arms and weaponry without involving multiple Federal laws in these matters. State laws are involved as well, but these vary from state-to-state.
When the purchasing and selling of arms and other types of weapons in the international arena, multiple laws of nation states and international agreements are involved. For example, it is not possible to sell American weapons to many nations in the world, especially those nations which have been designated as terrorist or "rogue" nations. This situation also applies in the reverse.
So, when a person like Viktor But is selling arms and equipment all over the world and not following "the law," he is violating many different types of laws from various nations and international organizations and treaties. This not only creates a legal nightmare, but also exposed Viktor to many different criminal liabilities.
