US security contractor Academi LLC, formerly known as Blackwater Worldwide and Xe Services, have settled charges of arms trafficking and related crimes filled against it by the US Department of Justice. Academi agreed to pay a US$7.5 million fine.
Prosecutors unsealed two charges against Academi on Tuesday, alleging that the company illegally exported encrypted satellite phones to Sudan in 2005. The charges also include numerous counts of weapons exporting violations and trafficking, as well as providing security services and a threat assessment to Sudan, and unlicensed military training of Canadian military and law enforcement personnel.
