Prosecutors say Shenghua Wen was allegedly moving items to North Korea by concealing them in shipping containers from Long Beach, California, through Hong Kong and then to North Korea.
In September, over 50,000 rounds of ammo were found in Wen's vehicle that he allegedly admitted were heading to North Korea, the complaint says.
Being in the U.S. illegally, Wen knew he could not buy the goods so he allegedly relied on straw purchases, using other people to purchase the guns, prosecutors say.
U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada said Tuesday, 'The conduct alleged in this complaint is chilling.'
