British national David Greenhalgh, once known in Uganda’s business circles as a prominent investor and the former partner of Bad Black, has been found guilty of running an international arms trafficking operation in the United Kingdom.Greenhalgh, 68, was convicted on Thursday, June 11, 2026, by Southwark Crown Court in London after being found guilty on eight counts of illegal arms trafficking under the Export Control Order 2008. The conviction follows a trial that began on April 7, 2026. He was convicted alongside Greek national Christos Farmakis, 48, who was tried in his absence and found guilty of an additional related offence.The court heard that Greenhalgh and Farmakis operated a secretive global network between 2009 and 2016, sourcing military equipment from former Soviet and Eastern European countries and attempting to broker shipments to conflict-ridden and sanctioned destinations including Libya, South Sudan, Sudan, Iraq and Iran. Prosecutors said the operation involved negotiations for a vast arsenal of weapons, including surface-to-air missile systems, combat helicopters, battle tanks, anti-tank missile launchers, rocket-propelled grenades, fighter jets and tens of thousands of AK-47 rifles with millions of rounds of ammunition.Bad Black cautions young girls: Prostitution leaves you broken inside, avoid itGreenhalgh is a familiar name in Uganda due to his involvement in the high-profile Bad Black embezzlement case. He was a key witness in the case that led to Bad Black’s conviction in July 2012 by the Anti-Corruption Court for embezzling Shs11 billion from Daveshan Development Company Limited, a real estate company she allegedly co-owned with Greenhalgh, who was then her lover and business partner.Following the conviction, the court emphasized the importance of enforcing the United Kingdom’s arms control regulations. In its ruling, the court stated that the convictions serve as a warning to individuals seeking to bypass strict export controls and supply weapons to sanctioned or embargoed destinations, adding that protecting national security remains a priority for the UK government.The post Bad Black’s ex-partner convicted of international arms trafficking appeared first on MBU.
