The Federal Bureau of Investigation is actively seeking the arrest of Onur Simsek, who is currently listed on the FBI’s Most Wanted Fraudsters list. Simsek is wanted in connection with a federal arrest warrant issued on October 25, 2023, by the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. He faces multiple serious federal charges, including conspiracy to defraud the U.S. government, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, money laundering, conspiracy to commit export control violations, violation of the Export Control Reform Act of 2018, and violations of the Arms Export Control Act. According to federal authorities, Simsek allegedly engaged in a procurement fraud scheme after being barred from doing business with the U.S. government in 2018 due to a prior conviction for similar crimes. He is accused of entering into contracts to manufacture military components while deliberately concealing information, misrepresenting facts, and submitting false claims to the Department of Defense for personal gain. The scheme involved submitting false certifications to the Defense Logistics Agency and introducing substandard components into the military supply chain, actions that federal officials describe as a direct threat to national security and the lives of service members. While the warrant was issued in the Middle District of Florida, the FBI believes Simsek is currently residing in Turkey. The investigation involves a multi-agency partnership including the FBI, the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General’s Defense Criminal Investigative Service, and the U.S. General Services Administration Office of Inspector General. Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding Simsek’s location or activities to come forward.
