Two former UN agency employees have been charged in Montreal for allegedly selling Chinese-made drones and other military equipment to Libya in violation of international sanctions.

Conspiracy charges have been filed against Fathi Ben Ahmed Mhaouek, 61, and Mahmud Mohamed Elsuwaye Sayeh, 37, the RCMP said in a April 23 statement, indicating that the two men had been charged with violating sanctions on Libya enacted by the United Nations.
