An accusedarms dealer who was arrested at LAXhad a stream of suspicious-looking men in and out of her Los Angeles condo, neighbors have claimed.
Shamim Mafi, 44, was allegedly operatingon behalf of the Iranian regimeout of a two-bed, three-bathroom townhouse in Woodland Hills.
Neighbors say they barely saw her but spotted multiple shady men visiting, with one who had ultra-luxe clothing seen smoking on her balcony.
Mafi was arrested on Saturday night and charged with brokering deals for Iranian drones, bombs, and millions of rounds of ammunition bound for Sudan.
She allegedly conducted the deals while in close contact with Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security, which provided instruction and funds for herto open a business in the USto operate out of.
Mafi’s LA neighbors Paul Hillson, 68, and wife Diane Maston, 66, were home on Saturdaywhen the FBI raided Mafi’s homeat 9pm.
“We went for a walk and there were about five or six undercover and unmarked cars,’ Hillson told the Post.
“They knocked on the door and yelled ‘FBI, we have a search warrant.’ They removed black sealed boxes of evidence.’
The couple said they never saw Mafi. Hillson added: “There was also sorts of suspicious s*** going on at that place. It’s always been a unit where there was weird activity.
“There’d be intermittent visitors coming by, people picking stuff up. There was a guy who stayed there and you could feel the danger. Something wasn’t right.
