Arms dealer in Pentagon scheme guilty in new case

Court Alerts

A Florida arms dealer convicted in a $300 million Pentagon scheme is pleading guilty to another federal weapons charge.

A plea agreement filed in Orlando federal court shows that 24-year-old Efraim Diveroli of Miami Beach will plead guilty at a hearing Tuesday to firearms possession by a convicted felon.

Prosecutors say Diveroli possessed numerous weapons and tried to broker a deal for thousands of rounds of ammunition and other weapons gear with undercover informants. Diveroli faces a 10-year maximum prison sentence in that case.

Diveroli previously pleaded guilty to conspiring to illegally ship Chinese-made ammunition to Afghan soldiers under a Pentagon contract. He is awaiting sentencing in Miami for that conviction.

Grounds for Divorce in Ohio - Sylkatis Law, LLC

A divorce in Ohio is filed when there is typically “fault” by one of the parties and party not at “fault” seeks to end the marriage. A court in Ohio may grant a divorce for the following reasons:
• Willful absence of the adverse party for one year
• Adultery
• Extreme cruelty
• Fraudulent contract
• Any gross neglect of duty
• Habitual drunkenness
• Imprisonment in a correctional institution at the time of filing the complaint
• Procurement of a divorce outside this state by the other party

Additionally, there are two “no-fault” basis for which a court may grant a divorce:
• When the parties have, without interruption for one year, lived separate and apart without cohabitation
• Incompatibility, unless denied by either party

However, whether or not the the court grants the divorce for “fault” or not, in Ohio the party not at “fault” will not get a bigger slice of the marital property.
