BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – A Bakersfield man has been sentenced to five years in
prison after admitting to working illegally as an agent for the government of
Yemen.
Amen Ahmed Ali was sentenced Friday by a federal judge after he pleaded guilty
in October to exporting military equipment, possession of stolen U.S. property
and conspiracy to act as an illegal agent for a foreign country.
Besides serving time in prison, the 60-year-old Ali was also ordered to serve
an
additional three years of supervised release.
Federal prosecutors say Ali worked for Yemen between 1997 and 2006, shipping
off
bulletproof vests, chemical protective suits and other equipment to the country.
They say he also bought and shipped night-vision goggles, laptop computers and
satellite phones sold to him by an undercover FBI agent posing as a U.S. Army
soldier.
