The Abu Dhabi Federal Appeal Court has sentenced an Iranian businessman, S.M.A.R., to 10 years in prison following his conviction of attempting to re-export an electric generator to Iran to assist in the country’s nuclear programme.

Authorities have confiscated a generator and seized other devices related to the case, wam reported on Wednesday.

The man was found guilty of violating the international ban on nuclear weapons and will be deported after serving his sentence.

They have also been ordered to delete the posts, and pay court expenses.

They will be deported after serving their sentences.

The court also reviewed and deferred judgment on a number of cases relating to national security.
