Niloufar Bahadorifar, a 48-year-old US citizen originally from Iran, was sentenced to four years in prison for providing financial support to Iran in violation of US sanctions. She is not charged with participating in the kidnapping conspiracy, and told the Federal District Court in Manhattan on Friday that she was unaware of it. The surveillance had "left its mark" on her. In July 2022, police arrested a man they found near Alinejad's Brooklyn home with a loaded AK-47 assault rifle and dozens of rounds of ammunition.
