About
Cardoen rose to prominence in the 1980s amidst the United States arms embargo against Chile, when he became "Pinochet's favourite arms manufacturer".
When Saddam Hussein fell out of favor with the United States in connection with the 1990 invasion of Kuwait, Cardoen, who had weapon dealings with Iraq, was accused by the US of zirconium trafficking. Since then he has been on the Interpol wanted list. On various occasions Cardoen has received support from National Congress and the Minister of Foreign Affairs to end the Interpol arrest warrant.
