The two men received orders from the state-run Iranian Electronics Industries and exported a total of 3,100 dials used in constructing sighting devices on
antitank rocket launchers, in April and December 1995, according to the ruling.
Momtahan, together with Sun Beam's former directors, Ichiro Takahashi, 63, and Tsuneo Ishida, 67, allegedly exported in April and December 1995 a total of 3,100 dials used in sighting devices on
antitank rocket launchers.
Prosecutors on Wednesday demanded prison terms for two former executives of a defunct Tokyo trading firm charged with illegally shipping to Iran parts for
antitank rocket launchers. At the final hearing at the Tokyo District Court, prosecutors sought two-year jail sentences and a 1.5 million yen fine each for Ichiro Takahashi, 63, and Tsuneo Ishida, 67.
Early last month, Takahashi and another Japanese, who also effectively ran Sun Beam, were indicted on charges of exporting 3,100 dials for sighting devices used in
antitank rocket launchers to an Iranian state-run enterprise, Iran Electronics Industries, in April and December 1995 without government permission.
