Associated Press, WILMINGTON, Del.—Federal authorities in Delaware are preparing to release more information in the case of a California man accused of trying to export military equipment to Iran.
Authorities scheduled a news conference Thursday afternoon to discuss the case of 35-year-old Marc Knapp of Simi Valley, Calif.
Prosecutors alleged that Knapp, who was arrested in July, illegally exported military equipment to Hungary and tried to make other exports, including an F-5B Tiger II fighter jet, to Iran and Russia.
According to court documents, Knapp met several times with an undercover agent, saying he had defense items for sale, including a fighter jet that would be transported from California to Delaware, then to Iran via Hungary.
