SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 8 – DOJ announced that TAKESHI EBISAWA pled guilty today in Manhattan federal court to conspiring to traffic nuclear materials, including uranium and weapons-grade plutonium, from Burma to other countries, as well as to international narcotics trafficking and weapons charges.
Inner City Press was there, the only media present as the plea agreement was read out by U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Colleen McMahon.
Ebisawa, speaking through a Japanese interpreter, said he is 60 years old; he agreed not to appeal any sentence below the stipulated guideline - which is life imprisonment. So he cannot appeal any sentence as excessive. Why did he plead guilty?
The case is US v. Ebisawa, 22-cr-256 (McMahon)
