    U.S. district judge sentences citizen of Uzbekistan for false statements

    U.S. district judge sentences citizen of Uzbekistan for false statements

    Sidikjon Mamadjonov, a 37-year-old citizen of Uzbekistan, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Victor A. Bolden to one month in prison, which he has already served, and one year of supervised release. Mamadjonov was found guilty of providing false statements to federal law enforcement and during immigration proceedings.

    The announcement was made by U.S. Attorney Vanessa Roberts Avery, Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department’s National Security Division, FBI New Haven Special Agent in Charge Robert Fuller, and Homeland Security Investigations New England Special Agent in Charge Michael J. Krol.

    Background and False Statements

    Mamadjonov moved to the U.S. in February 2009, settling in New Britain, Connecticut, and became a lawful permanent resident in September 2010. On May 27, 2013, he traveled to Istanbul, Türkiye. During this trip, Mamadjonov discovered that his brother, Saidjon Mamadjonov, had been killed while fighting in the Syrian civil war. After returning to the U.S. on June 11, 2013, he received a package containing an iPhone 4 with videos and photographs of his brother in Syria, including images of Saidjon armed and in military attire, as well as a photograph of him after his death.

    In 2014, Mamadjonov was interviewed three times by FBI special agents regarding his trip to Türkiye and his brother. He falsely stated that his brother was alive and living in Türkiye or Dubai, claimed to have met him in Türkiye, and said that his brother had sent him a package after he returned.

    In August 2016, during another FBI interview, Mamadjonov again provided false information, denying knowledge of Uzbeks traveling to Syria to fight and falsely claiming ignorance about his brother's activities and fate. He knew that Saidjon had traveled from the U.S. to Syria and had died in the conflict before the package was sent.

    On October 27, 2016, during an interview with a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officer regarding his naturalization application, Mamadjonov lied about his brother and denied previously lying to the FBI.

    Conviction and Sentencing

    Mamadjonov was arrested on December 22, 2017. On March 7, 2023, a jury found him guilty of three counts of making false statements to law enforcement and one count of making a false statement in an immigration matter.

    The investigation was conducted by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, Homeland Security Investigations, the Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation Division, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the New Britain Police Department, and the Hartford Police Department. The prosecution was led by Assistant U.S. Attorney Edward Chang and Trial Attorney Steven Ward of the National Security Division’s Counterterrorism Section.
