The suspect in the Pentagon leak case could face decades in prison.
Jack Teixeira, suspected of leaking secret Pentagon documents, could face dozens of years in prison. It was reported by The New York Times.
The publication’s journalist Charlie Savage reviewed the statement of the head of the US Department of Justice Merrick Garland in this case.
“Garland’s report indicates that Teixeira will be charged under section 18 USC 793, also known as the espionage law,” he said.
This law prohibited the unauthorized seizure, possession, and transfer of confidential national defense documents that could be used to harm the United States or aid a foreign adversary.
Each of these items is a separate offense and is punishable by up to ten years in prison.
We remind you, on the eve of the United States, a suspect was detained in the leak of Pentagon documents. It turned out to be 21-year-old guard Jack Teixeira. The man is suspected of leaking secret documents containing information about the war in Ukraine and the counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
According to media reports, Teixeira only specializes in working with intelligence, and he manages the chat, where secret documents are published.
The Pentagon documents leaker’s trial will take place on April 14 in Boston.
