NEWARK, New Jersey (AP) — Federal authorities in New Jersey say a citizen of the Netherlands who conspired to ship aircraft parts and other items from the United States to Iran in violation of US law is headed to prison.
Fifty-year-old Ulrich Davis received a six-month sentence Tuesday and also was ordered to pay a $2,000 fine. He had previously plead guilty to a complaint charging him with conspiracy to defraud the United States.
The US attorney’s office says Davis used his position with a freight forwarding company to arrange shipment of the prohibited items, disguising the nature of the shipments by falsifying documents.
It says the shipments included parts for Boeing 747 and C-130 aircraft.
