Order Denying Export Privileges
On December 3, 2019, in the U.S.
District Court for the Northern District
of Illinois, Omran Ismail (‘‘Ismail’’) was
convicted of violating 18 U.S.C. 371.
Specifically, Ismail was convicted of
conspiring to straw purchase several
handguns on behalf of co-defendant Ola
Sayed, who allegedly tried to smuggle
the firearms into Egypt, in violation of
18 U.S.C. 371. As a result of his
conviction, the Court sentenced Ismail
to 18 months in prison, one year of
supervised release, and an assessement
of $200.
Pursuant to section 1760(e) of the
Export Control Reform Act (‘‘ECRA’’),1
the export privileges of any person who
has been convicted of certain offenses,
including, but not limited to, 18 U.S.C.
371, may be denied for a period of up
to ten (10) years from the date of his/her
conviction. 50 U.S.C. 4819(e). In

received a written submission from
Ismail.
Based upon my review of the record
and consultations with BIS’s Office of
Exporter Services, including its

I have decided to deny Ismail’s export
privileges under the Regulations for a
period of seven years from the date of
Ismail’s conviction. The Office of
Exporter Services has also decided to
revoke any BIS-issued licenses in which
Ismail had an interest at the time of his
