Botched Iran Case Adds to Woes of SDNY, Office Upended by Barr
(Bloomberg) -- The story line seems familiar. U.S. prosecutors win a significant conviction. Then evidence emerges that suggests possible misconduct by investigators, and the prosecution asks the judge to dismiss the charges.
It happened to Michael Flynn, the onetime Trump aide who’s on the verge of walking away from his guilty pleas. Now it’s also happening to Ali Sadr Hashemi Nejad, an Iranian native whose conviction for violating U.S. economic sanctions received far less fanfare. The judge in the case said last week she intends to dismiss the case, and she has raised the specter of disciplinary action for prosecutorial misconduct.
The mishandling of the Sadr case, and prosecutors’ abandonment of it after conviction, blemishes the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office,
an elite outpost of prosecutors handling some of the nation’s most politically charged investigations. The office was
blindsided after Attorney General William Barr helped
oust its top prosecutor last month. Now, embarrassing details about the Sadr matter could invite skepticism when the office’s prosecutors take their next sensitive cases to trial.
