3 1/2-year sentence ordered in Iran missile part case

None

A Taiwanese businessman has been sentenced to 3 1/2 years in US prison for illegal exports of banned missile, drone and other military-grade parts to Iran.

 

A Miami federal judge sentenced 40-year-old Yi-Lan Chen on Friday. Chen pleaded guilty in May to conspiring to violate the US embargo against Iran and attempting to export hardware with military applications. Chen faced a potential maximum of 20 years behind bars. US District Judge Adalberto Jordan gave him credit for immediately admitting guilt and showing remorse. (AP)
