The Doncaster boss of a second-hand military vehicles company and an assistant, accused of shipping personnel carriers to blacklisted war-torn Sudan, were committed to Southwark Crown Court.
Andrew Jackson,46, owner of L Jackson & Co. of Rocket Site, Misson, Bawtry, and Steven Smithey,27, of Netherholme Epworth Road, Haxey, Doncaster appeared at City of London Magistrates Court.
The Revenue and Customs Prosecution Office have brought charges under the 2004 Trade in Controlled Goods order.
Both men are charged with being knowingly concerned on or about February 3, 2006 with exporting prohibited goods, namely fifteen Haggland BV306 Tract Personnel Carriers.
Jackson alone also faces two similar charges relating to seven Haggland Personnel Carriers on or about December 18, 2006 and eight carriers on or about January 30, 2007.
They were bailed unconditionally to appear on August 25.
L Jackson & Co., which occupies at sixty acre former military air defense missile site, prides itself on fifty years involved in the supply of used, refurbished and new ex-M.O.D and NATO vehicles, plant and machinery.

Interesting. This chappy might be selling to the Sudanese, but does he really care where the vehicles end up? He should be hanged for treason, which means he'll get community service, no doubt.
