He concluded the agreement: the pilot has pleaded guilty in the leakage
It is reported that 22-year-old Taisheira pleaded guilty of all six of the prosecution points that were brought to him in connection with the Law on Espionage. According to court documents, Timisira agreed to conduct interrogation with representatives of the Intelligence Community and the US Department of Defense, as well as to transfer all the relevant documents that he or she has known to him.
According to the journalists, instead prosecutors stated that they would demand that the judge impose a punishment for Taishaira in the form of 200 months or more than 16 years of imprisonment. "The recommended strict sentence is a much shorter term than a potential imprisonment for a decade that could be threatened if he did not enter into an agreement," the journalists said.
It is reported that the prosecutor's office has promised not to present Theyshai's additional accusations under the law on espionage. "Jack Taisheir never knows secret information for the rest of his life," said Massachusetts District Prosecutor Josh Levy. "This recognition entails responsibility and to some extent completes the head that caused deep damage to the security of our country," said Matt Olsen, assistant to the National Security Prosecutor General at the Ministry of Justice.
The material states that the final sentence will eventually adopt a federal judge in September. The Massachusets native is in custody since the first arrest in April 2023. According to journalists, the leakage of the document struck the world of intelligence when it became known for the first time last year. As a result, the drawbacks were found in how the Pentagon protects its most important secrets.
According to court documents, Taisheira managed a little -known chat on the Discord platform under the name "Thug Shaker Central", where participants published memes and talked about weapons and religion. While working on a military base on the Cape Code, the accused allegedly conducted an unauthorized search in government databases, despite repeated warnings of his superiors not to do so.
According to prosecutors, Taisheir initially began to publish a message containing secret information, and eventually published photos of documents marked as secret. The documents contained a wide range of strictly secret information, including the data on listening to key allies and opponents, as well as sharp assessments of the state of the Russian-Ukrainian war and more.
We will remind, on April 7, 2023, The New York Times reported with reference to its sources that published secret military documents on the network, which referred to NATO and Washington's plans to increase the capacity of the Armed Forces before the counter -offensive. NYT and Bellingcat journalists managed to identify a person who probably mocked the Pentagon data. It is about 22-year-old American pilot Jack Tesheir.
