BDL Gulf sold Dell products to Syria: report
- Saudi Arabia: Saturday, May 04 - 2013 at 05:46
Saudi-headquartered BDL Gulf, an authorised dealer for Dell in the Middle East and Africa, has sold through its Dubai-based branch large quantities of Dell computer equipment from to the Syrian government, despite strict trade sanctions intended to ban the selling of technology to the regime, the New York Times has reported, citing internal documents. BDL sold the equipment to Anas Hasoon Trading, a Damascus-based company with contracts to provide computers to the Syrian government, according to billings records and e-mail exchanges between the companies. Texas-based Dell said the company was recently made aware of a possible shipment of Dell equipment to Syria by an anonymous source. "We are investigating an allegation we received recently that BDL was involved in a possible transaction involving Syria," said Jess Blackburn, a spokesman for Dell. "Dell requires its resellers to follow U.S. trade requirements, just as Dell does. Resellers of Dell products and services are contractually prohibited from selling or shipping any technology to a customer in a restricted country."
