A U.S. court sentenced Colin Fisher, a British citizen, to two years and six months in prison and fined him $5,000 for attempting to smuggle industrial equipment to Iran. According to the U.S. attorney for the northern district of Florida, Fisher sought to export a $500,000 Solar Mars 90 S turbine core engine and related parts from the United States to an end user in Iran between 2017 and 2020. He falsified invoices and used coded language to communicate with his co-conspirators. U.S. law enforcement agencies seized the engine before it reached Iran. Fisher was arrested in August upon his arrival in Florida from the United Arab Emirates. In September, he pleaded guilty to violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. James Meharg, head of Turbine Resources International, was previously convicted of conspiring with Fisher on the export.
