According to U.S. Department of Justice officials, the case “demonstrates the importance of keeping America’s sensitive military technology from falling into the wrong hands … [Mr.] Michael Todd is being held accountable for his role in a broad conspiracy to supply Iran with advanced military aircraft technology that is restricted for export from the United States,” said Michael J. Moore, U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Georgia.

Todd was arrested in Atlanta in December 2010. He and his company, The Parts Guys, pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges earlier this year. U.S. government press statements detailing the case are available here and here.
