Prosecutor Lyndon Harris told the court that Mr. Ojiri had sold several artworks to Nazem Ahmad, whom he knew to be a suspected terrorist financier sanctioned by the United States and Britain because of links to Hezbollah. The BBC said that Mr. Ojiri had not worked on any BBC programs since 2023 and had been a freelancer rather than a member of the corporation’s staff. He had also appeared on several shows for other British broadcasters. Mr. Ojiri was released on bail ahead of a sentencing hearing at the Central Criminal Court on June 6. The maximum sentence for the offense is five years’ imprisonment.
