Three people were arrested in connection with a U.S. federal indictment charging four Colombian family members with illegally attempting to export 22 F-5 fighter jet engines to Iran. Amparo Echeverry Valdes, Carlos Alfredo Pantoja, and Diego Echeverry are being detained in Florida, while Felipe Echeverry is believed to be in Colombia. Between January and March 2011, the family members conspired to sell the engines to an undercover agent for $320,000, and to help export the engines from Miami to Iran, via Panama.
