Washington, DC 20230; In the Matter 

of: Samy Jecrois, 6415 23rd Street 

South, Saint Petersburg, FL 33712; 

Order Denying Export Privileges 

On February 1, 2019, in the U.S. 

District Court for the Southern District 

of Florida, Samy Jecrois (‘‘Jecrois’’), was 

convicted of violating 18 U.S.C. 554. 

Specifically, Jecrois was convicted of 

knowingly attempting to export and 

send from the United States to Haiti a 

firearm, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 554. 

Jecrois was sentenced to 5 months in 

prison, two years supervised release and 

a $100 assessment. 

Pursuant to Section 1760(e) of the 

Export Control Reform Act (‘‘ECRA’’),1

the export privileges of any person who 

has been convicted of certain offenses, 

including, but not limited to, 18 U.S.C. 

554, may be denied for a period of up 

to ten (10) years from the date of his/her 

conviction. 50 U.S.C. 4819(e) (Prior 

Convictions). In addition, any Bureau of 

Industry and Security (BIS) licenses or 

other authorizations issued under 

ECRA, in which the person had an 

interest at the time of the conviction, 

may be revoked. Id. 

BIS received notice of Jecrois’s 

conviction for violating 18 U.S.C. 554, 

and has provided notice and 

opportunity for Jecrois to make a written 

submission to BIS, as provided in 

Section 766.25 of the Export 

Administration Regulations (‘‘EAR’’ or 

the ‘‘Regulations’’). 15 CFR 766.25.2 BIS 

has not received a written submission 

from Jecrois. 

Based upon my review of the record 

and consultations with BIS’s Office of 

Exporter Services, including its 

Director, and the facts available to BIS, 

I have decided to deny Jecrois’s export 

privileges under the Regulations for a 

period of five years from the date of 

Jecrois’s conviction. The Office of 

Exporter Services has also decided to 

revoke any BIS-issued licenses in which 

Jecrois had an interest at the time of his 

conviction.3
