Best known for his association with Erik Prince, James Fenech is a Maltese arms dealer with ties to other arms dealers, and is accused of violating Libya’s arms embargo by leasing 2 RHIB’s used in a 2019 incident. 🚤 🌊
I will profile Fenech's Malta-based interests in a future thread, but when compiling his information, it became clear just how prolific the arms dealing/trading/transporting trade really is. 🏴☠️
The chart below illustrates just some of the connections.
There are conflicting accounts for why the 2 boats & 20 men were breaching EU sanctions. Prosecutors suspect the operation was for the purpose of protecting an arms shipment to Libya.
Along with Erik Prince’s Blackwater name and face, Fenech joined Nicola Bandini in Precision Ballistic Manufacturing/PBM (UAE & Italy), to manufacture casings for Blackwater Ammunition.
Officially, Nicola is a “gun and ammunition designer” and CEO of Arsenal Firearms – founded by prolific arms dealer Dimitri Streshinsky. 💥
In an odd real estate deal, Dimitry Streshinsky briefly owned a NYC mansion. Bought for $2M (cash) and sold a year later for $3.14M. Quick and clean money.
Konstantin Dafermos, with the assistance of Dimitry Streshinsky, sent weapons from Russia, Ukraine, and Poland to dissidents in Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia during the Balkan wars. Is partner with Vladimir I. Ryashentsev (KGB) in Scorpion Navigation SA.
Anatoliy Fedorenko is connected to Dimitry Streshinsky through Global Technologies. Dimitry runs the Moscow location, while Fedorenko runs the Ukranian location (registered in Panama).
