A Syrian-born US citizen who has been an employee/ associate of Viktor Bout for about a decade.

The UN identified Chichakli as Viktor Bout's Chief Financial Manager and, therefore, as one who acts at Bout's direction. His own resume details his senior positions with several Bout-controlled companies.

A certified public accountant and certified fraud examiner with more than 12 years of experience, plays a significant role in assisting Bout in setting up and managing a number of his key firms and moving money (both for acquisition of assets and reparation of profits).

In media interviews, reportedly has held himself out as spokesperson for Viktor Bout and his network.

Chichakli is an officer of San Air General Trading. Payments for many of the weapons that went to Liberia through Victor Bout's network in 2000 and 2001 were directed to San Air's bank accounts. As such, Chichakli is associated with an entity providing financial or military support to armed rebel groups in Liberia or in countries in the region.

Centrafircan was also involved in other arms shipments, including the attempted sale of two refurbished Mi-24 attack helicopters to Liberia.

Air Cess has been identified as the flagship firm of Victor Bout's network. Originally active in Belgium, it has had to move more than once since it first appeared in 1995 due to investigations by authorities in Belgium, Swaziland and South Africa. Air Cess is the only firm in Bout's network that ever officially listed him as its head. In Swaziland, Bout entered into ajoint venture with a South African company to form Air Pass. Air Cess had 90% ownership of this joint venture. Records show that Bout owned 90% of the shares of Air Pass. According to NGO reporting, Viktor transferred daily operational control of Air Cess to his brother, Sergei Bout, some time during the 1990s. This entity can thus be considered to be owned or controlled by either Viktor and/or Sergei Bout.
