Federal prosecutors in the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan acknowledged in private messages that they lied to the defense team for an Iranian businessman who was convicted on charges that he violated U.S. sanctions, according to documents unsealed on Monday.
Prosecutors in the Southern District of New York (SDNY), which handles some of the government’s most significant criminal cases, tried to block the release of the damning messages, but they were unsealed in response to a request from the Associated Press.
