| Description | One scene in the film "The Mole: Undercover in North Korea" depicts Mr Hisham al-Desouki — a Jordanian national — describing a scheme to violate UN sanctions through a proposed joint venture between Korea Narae Trading Corporation and Aktham Trading. In response to the Panel’s inquiry, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan described Mr. al-Desouki as an “infamous swindler” who maintains a small office with no staff and has never shipped any goods to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Jordan also supplied the Panel with the pro-forma invoice and contract (figure below) that was portrayed in the film and noted that “... the deal was never implemented, and al-Desouki’s goal was to obtain money without implementing his part of the deal…”. Owner and operator of Aktham Trading. | [sources] | |||
