Russian mobsters sentenced for foiled plot to kill Iranian journalist
Los Angeles Times
|October 31, 2025
They had hired a hit man to go after Masih Alinejad for the Tehran government.
Two purported Russian mobsters were each sentenced to 25 years behind bars Wednesday for hiring a hit man to kill Iranian American journalist Masih Alinejad at her Brooklyn home three years ago on behalf of the Iranian government.
"I crossed an ocean to come to America and have a normal life and I don't have a normal life," Alinejad said just before Judge Colleen McMahon announced the sentences in Manhattan federal court for Rafat Amirov, 46, and Polad Omarov, 41.
McMahon said the men had committed a “terrible, terrible crime.”
Assistant U.S. Atty. Michael D. Lockard had urged McMahon to dispense 55-year prison terms to the men. He said they were willing to carry out the desires of Iran to silence Alinejad, who has an online following of millions of people, more than the supreme leader of Iran.
