Leonid Efimovich Minin (Ukrainian: Леонід Юхимович Минин) (Born 14 December, 1947) is a Ukrainian (and now Israeli) arms trafficker. He was arrested on August 4, 2000 by Italian authorities in Cinisello Balsamo near Milan. Minin had been under surveillance since 1992 for his suspected illegal arms dealings, mostly to West African nations.[1] Nicolas Cage's character in the film Lord of War is a composite of Minin and arms dealer Viktor Bout.
