News One of the largest sources of Pentagon data: National Guardsman Teixeira admitted guilt in court by alex 04.03.2024 written by alex 04.03.2024 60 Teixeira in court admitted his guilt in the Pentagon data leak/Collage 24 Channel We previously talked about Massachusetts National Guard soldier Jack Teixeira. On March 4, he admitted that he caused one of the largest leaks of national defense secrets in recent years. Teixeira agreed to a prison sentence. He will be behind bars for 16 years for causing the Pentagon leak. Please note that this may be the longest sentence in a case involving illegal storage of information. Agreed with all six charges In the signed plea agreement, 22-year-old Teixeira agreed to plead guilty to all six charges of intentional storage, as well as transfer of information that constitutes a state secret. In exchange, prosecutors agreed not to bring additional charges against him under the Espionage Act. The prosecutor, during a hearing in federal court in Boston, where the National Guardsman admitted his guilt, said that Teixeira “gained access to and printed hundreds of secret documents”, and posted these images on Discord before his arrest in April 2023. Please note that federal prosecutors clearly stated that Teixeira had nothing to do with classified information because this was not required by the position he held. The defendant's job was to troubleshoot computer workstations, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Casey. At the same time, Casey noted that Teixeira received access to “hundreds” of classified documents in the secure room where he performed work. And he “purposefully deleted classified documents and information despite warnings from his superiors to stop doing so.” Casey added that Teixeira posted the material on Discord under the pseudonym theexcalibereffect. And that he “took measures to conceal his illegal activities.” Without specifics, federal prosecutors said Teixeira published information about the compromise by a foreign adversary of certain accounts belonging to a US company, as well as information about equipment that the United States sent to Ukraine. About how it was transferred and how it will be used after receiving it. Prosecutors said Teixeira also published materials about how troops were moving in Ukraine, plot by a foreign enemy to attack US forces abroad, and Western supplies to the battlefield in Ukraine. – “You knew it was classified, didn’t you?” Talwani asked Teixeira. – “Yes, your honor,” Teixeira replied. Please note that Teixeira was 21 years old at the time of his arrest. In June 2023, he pleaded not guilty to six charges. Note that Teixeira joined the Air National Guard in 2019. Since 2021, according to the Ministry of Justice, had access to state secrets. 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail alex previous post Another country has joined the initiative to purchase shells for Ukraine next post Predictable sequence: Gumenyuk on intensifying Russian attacks on the Odessa region You may also like Explosions in Crimea on October 24: details of... 24.10.2024 United Russia office burned down with Molotov cocktails... 24.10.2024 Night explosions in Kyiv: about ten drones neutralized 24.10.2024 One step towards World War III – The... 24.10.2024 Seven countries oppose Ukraine's rapid accession to NATO... 24.10.2024 Will not side with Russia: India has an... 24.10.2024 For real changes, the MSEC needs to undergo... 24.10.2024 NATO Confirms Presence of North Korean Soldiers in... 24.10.2024 Roman Gladkiy dismissed from the post of Chief... 23.10.2024 Presidential elections in Belarus: will there really be... 23.10.2024 Leave a Comment Cancel Reply Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
