Mozaffar Khazaee (aka “Arash Khazaie”), a former employee of Pratt & Whitney, was charged with two counts of interstate transportation of stolen property after he attempted to ship to Iran boxes of information on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and military jet engines. According to the government, Khazaee was in possession of numerous boxes of documents consisting of sensitive technical manuals, specification sheets, and other proprietary material that he intended to send from Connecticut to the Iranian city of Hamadan. He allegedly obtained the documents from three companies, including Pratt & Whitney, for whom Khazaee worked until August 2013. In 2015, Khazaee pleaded guilty to to one count of unlawful export and attempted export of defense articles from the U.S. in violation of the Arms Export Control Act and was sentenced to 97 months of imprisonment and a $50,000 fine.
