DELL Dell Inc. (MM)

A Dubai-based authorized reseller of Dell Inc. (DELL) products sold Dell computer equipment to a Syrian company that is a supplier to the Syrian government, according to a New York Times report that cited emails, sales receipts and shipping documents.

A Dell spokesman told the Times that the company is looking into an allegation that reseller BDL Gulf may have shipped products to Syria.

The spokesman said in a statement that "Dell requires its resellers to follow U.S. trade requirements, just as Dell does. Resellers of Dell products and services are contractually prohibited from selling or shipping any technology to a customer in a restricted country."
