Leo Emil Wanta (born 1940) is an American arms dealer and convicted fraudster who claims to have been involved in a CIA plot to destabilize the Soviet economy in 1990.[1]
Wanta was president of AmeriChina Global Management Group Inc.,[1][2] an arms exporting firm based in appleton, Wisconsin.[2] In 1988, he attempted to sell thousands of Browning 9mm pistols to Panamanian leader Manuel Noriega.[1][2]
In his book Tragedy of Russia's Reforms (USIP, 2001), Peter Reddaway states that Wanta "came very close to obtaining the approval of [RSFSR President Boris] Yeltsin, [Prime Minister Ivan] Silayev and [Duputy Prime Minister Gennady] Burbulis for the opening of a 140 billion ruble credit line for 'investments' in the Russian economy," and that "information supplied by the United States averted the signing of this contract at the last moment."[3] Reddaway also states in his book that Wanta was wanted for credit-card fraud by U.S. authorities.[3]
Wanta was arrested in Switzerland in 1993 for attempting to defraud a bank of 81 million dollars. He claimed to have diplomatic immunity as the ambassador of Somalia (which, at that time, had no functioning internationally-recognized government) to Canada[4]. In 1995, Wanta was convicted of tax evasion and sentenced to an eight-year prison term in the State of Wisconsin.[4]
Christopher Story, a former adviser to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher who has since become an Internet-based conspiracy theorist, has made additional claims surrounding Wanta.[5]
