Iranian Citizen Sentenced to Prison for Illegally Exporting From US

An Iranian citizen was sentenced to 27 months in prison for conspiring to illegally export technology to Iran, the Justice Department said Sept. 24. Negar Ghodskani pleaded guilty to the charges in August and admitted using a front company he helped found, Malaysia-based Green Wave Telecommunication, to buy export-controlled technology from the U.S. and hide the ultimate end-user and destination, located in Iran (see 1908120016).
