Efraim Diveroli

Efraim Diveroli, the young Miami gunrunner who the feds say tried to sell illegal ammunition even as he was awaiting sentencing for selling illegal ammunition, pleaded guilty in October to possessing a firearm as a convicted felon.

Diveroli pleaded guilty to possessing a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon. Under a plea agreement, the U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Florida agreed not to charge the defendant with committing other federal criminal offenses and Diveroli agreed to forfeit a variety of different types of ammunition and firearms.

Miami Arms Dealer Dude Had Complex Web Of Business Dealings

The world headquarters of Pinnacle Minerals Corporation and AEY Inc.

In their newest case against the already-convicted 20-something Miami arms dealer Efraim Diveroli, the feds accused him this week of using a front company to hide his continuing involvement in the arms trade. But a closer look at Diveroli's recent dealings suggest that, even as he was awaiting sentencing on his initial conviction for selling the U.S. government poor-quality and illegal munitions for use in Afghanistan, Diveroli engaged in a series of transactions designed to obscure his involvement in companies involved in the arms business.

AEY, Inc., the business that Diveroli used a few years back to sell the U.S. Army out-of-date Eastern European munitions, is still around and is run out of Diveroli's upscale home in Miami Beach.

Dejan Djuric and Efraim Diveroli

When Efraim Diveroli wanted to show off some of his ammunition supply to a potential business partner, he rolled up in a silver Audi convertible with his friend and business associate: Dejan Djuric, the owner of Advanced Munitions.

Diveroli, as we told you earlier, was arrested on Friday and charged with possession of firearms as a convicted felon and with possession of firearms while under indictment for a felony offense. But all signs indicate that there's a bigger case on the horizon.
