Peter Sotis sentenced to 57 months in rebreather smuggling case
Sotis was the 80% owner of Add Helium, a diving equipment and training company in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The charges stem from the defendants’ scheme to cause the illegal export of rebreather diving equipment to Libya in August 2016.
If rebreathers are to be exported to any countries with national security concerns, such as Libya, it requires a license from the U.S. Department of Commerce.
