In the United States, a police officer was imprisoned for 60 years because of an attempt to support the "Islamic State"

In the United States, a Nicholas Yang police officer was sentenced to 60 years in prison because of attempts to provide material support to a radical Islamist group, the "Islamic State."

This is stated in the press service of the Justice Department of Virginia.

"Nicolas Young vowed to defend and defend, and instead violated public confidence in trying to support the ID," said state prosecutor Dana Boente.

Young worked as a policeman in the transport system at the time of his arrest in 2016. He was detained by a carefully crafted special services operation. A judicial investigation showed that the former law-enforcement officer was under the surveillance of security services since 2010.

Yang was sentenced to a maximum term of imprisonment of 60 years. The term will begin on February 23, 2018.
