A federal judge has sentenced a dual U.S.-Turkish citizen to six and a half years in prison for selling counterfeit computer networking equipment, including equipment that was used to support U.S. military aircraft.

Federal prosecutors had alleged that Onur Aksoy, 40, had operated dozens of business entities and online storefronts from 2013 to 2022 in a scheme to traffic in counterfeit and fraudulent Cisco networking equipment.
