Violations of the Arms Export Control Act, particularly those involving attempts to transfer sensitive defense technology to a foreign power, are among the most significant national security threats we face, and we will continue to leverage the criminal justice system to prevent, confront, and disrupt them.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>From U.S. Attorney Daly:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMozaffar Khazaee betrayed his defense contractor employers and the national security interests of the United States by stealing and attempting to send to Iran voluminous documents containing highly sensitive U.S. defense technology. U.S. companies are being relentlessly targeted by those who seek to steal our intellectual property, our trade secrets and our advanced defense technology \u2013 whether through a computer hack or cyber intrusion, or through an insider or rogue employee.\u00a0 As this case demonstrates, we will aggressively investigate and hold accountable those who attempt to steal trade secrets and military technology from U.S. industries, whether for their own personal gain or for the benefit of foreign actors.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>From Special Agent in Charge Etre:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cStopping people like Mozaffar Khazaee from providing U.S. military technology to foreign powers is crucial to our national security interests. It\u2019s abundantly clear from court records that this individual intended to harm U.S. interests both here and abroad.\u00a0 HSI [Homeland Security Investigations] will continue to work with our federal law enforcement partners to ensure that advanced U.S. military technology is not stolen and illegally exported for the benefit of foreign entities.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>To read the entire press release: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/former-connecticut-resident-sentenced-over-eight-years-prison-attempting-send-us-military\">Justice News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Connecticut Resident Sentenced to Over Eight Years in Prison for Attempting to Ship to Iran Mozaffar Khazaee, 61, formerly of Manchester, Connecticut, was sentenced\u00a0to 97 months in prison and ordered to pay a $50,000 fine by U.S. District of Connecticut for violating the Arms Export Control Act by attempting to send to Iran highly [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4101,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_s2mail":"yes","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":""},"categories":[6,17,70],"tags":[50,71],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.0 -
