British Arms Brokers Jailed 16 Years Over Warzone Deals — Sep 23, 2026David Greenhalgh, 68, and Greek national Christos Farmakis, 48, were jailed for 16 years in London for orchestrating tens of millions of pounds in illegal arms deals, including ex-Soviet fighter jets and missiles to war zones such as Sudan, South Sudan and Libya, between 2009 and 2016.
