Lord Charles Tryon held positions at companies tied to Douglas Edelman , a former defense contractor.
Tryon denied any involvement in Edelman ’s alleged tax evasion, and prosecutors have not alleged wrongdoing on his part.
Edelman made a fortune from more than $7 billion worth of contracts with the U.S. military to supply forces in Afghanistan and the Middle East .
Aspen Wind was described on EurasiaNet as an “umbrella” organization that held a wide range of Afghanistan -based businesses, including a company that sold Internet services in Afghanistan of which Tryon was CEO.
Edelman held a bank account at Credit Suisse in the name of the company, and that Edelman shifted its assets to Singapore after the Swiss bank told him in November 2008 that he would have to disclose the account.
