The owner of a high-precision rifle manufacturing company appeared in court today accused of illegally importing two twelve bore pump-action shotguns from the USA.
Miodrag Maksimovic, 54, the boss of Boston-based Dolphin Gun Company, is fighting the case and will return to Isleworth Crown Court for trial on September 17.
He was prosecuted after the weapons, DP-12 shotguns, arrived at Heathrow Airport on June 21, last year.
Maksimovic, of Bank House, Scalp Road, Fishoft is charged with being concerned in the importation of a prohibited weapon between May 11 and June 21, last year and purchasing the guns without the authority of the Secretary of State.
Maksimovic claims there was nothing fraudulent about the online purchase, which was made in his name and under the belief the guns were lawful.
He is well-known within the shooting world, having competed all over the globe, often representing Team GB and is currently their manager.
