Victor Bout
Victor Bout, often referred to as the 'Merchant of Death,' is a former Soviet military officer turned international arms dealer who was arrested in 2008 and later convicted of conspiracy to provide material support to a terrorist organization. His operations spanned several continents, supplying weapons to various conflict zones, which made him a target for international law enforcement.
