Syrian Man Sentenced to 42 Months in Prison for Role in Hacking Conspiracy Conducted on Behalf of the Bashar al-Assad Regime: To spread the former Syrian government's propaganda, the defendant hacked more than 40 businesses, nongovernmental organizations, U.S. government entities, and media organizations.

The hacking conspiracy penalized the free press, used information warfare tactics to cause fear and confusion among Syrian government opponents, collected intelligence for the former regime, and attempted to cause mutiny or refusal of duty by U.S. military service members.

The defendant's actions even caused a flash crash in the U.S. stock market, resulting in a temporary $136 billion loss in the value of stocks making up the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Eight Defendants Sentenced to Prison for Roles in Cocaine and Firearms Trafficking Conspiracy: As part of this Homeland Security Task Force investigation, #FBIWFO partnered with @ATFWashington, @LoudounSheriff, @PWCPolice, @VSPPIO, and other federal and local agencies to conduct controlled purchases of firearms and cocaine from the conspirators, none of whom had a license to sell firearms. https://t.co/MhJvRl9FdR

After a controlled purchase of over a dozen firearms and four kilograms of cocaine in January 2026, law enforcement officers executed search warrants at multiple locations across northern Virginia and Washington, D.C., as part of the investigation.

Through strong partnerships and coordinated enforcement efforts, the #FBI and our partners continue to dismantle criminal networks involved in drug and firearms trafficking, helping keep our communities safe.

Last week, I joined ADIC Cox to recognize our agents from @FBIWFO who are out on the streets working on the D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force. Over 200 FBI personnel are working alongside task force partners to apprehend violent criminals, seize illegal drugs, and locate missing children here in Washington, D.C.

Thanks to our agents and our partners, we have recorded the largest year-to-year decrease in violent crime rates since FBI estimations began in 1936, including a 20% drop in the murder rate last year and 30% decrease in the last 21 months. The D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force has arrested approximately 19,000 suspects, engaged in nearly 3,900 narcotics interdictions, and seized about 2,250 illegal firearms.

These results showcase the strength and dedication of the D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force and share a promise to the American people that the FBI will continue to reduce violent crime to keep the streets of our nation’s capital safe today and every day.

Defense Contractor Employee Pleads Guilty for Aiding North Korean Remote Employment Scheme: The defendant pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud for defrauding U.S. companies by allowing foreign individuals to use his identity and the identity of a third person to apply for remote work positions. Additionally, he received laptops shipped by victim companies to his home and enabled remote access from outside the U.S.

To evade economic sanctions and earn money, the North Korean government has dispatched thousands of information technology workers to obtain remote employment with companies around the world. By receiving and hosting computers and other hardware issued by U.S. companies in exchange for a fee, U.S. residents facilitate the scheme. https://t.co/MNKcoZx7Ru
