An art expert, Oghenochuko Ojiri, was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for selling artworks worth about 140,000 pounds to a Hezbollah financier, Nazem Ahmad, between 2020 and 2021. Ojiri had appeared on BBC's "Bargain Hunt" and "Antiques Road Trip." Security officials warned art dealers to avoid transactions with sanctioned terrorist financiers.
