Ohio Man Sentenced to Prison for Evading Iran Sanctions
(Radio Farda) Behrooz Behroozian, 64, who was born in Iran and entered the U.S. in 1976, was sentenced on Oct. 24 to 20 months for violating U.S. sanctions by supplying industrial and oil technology to Iran, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. "For years, this defendant deliberately sought to defeat and evade the Iranian sanctions for personal gain while supplying critical equipment to the Iranian industrial complex," said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers. "As this case demonstrates, the desire for specialized American technology and the willingness to illegally supply it to hostile countries are very real and ever present."
