The federal IARA indictment identifies Mubarak Hamed as born in 1956, with the month and day redacted. Its charging allegations and statutory maximum penalties are not findings of guilt or proof of actual confinement.
The criminal judgment and transcripts reproduced as exhibits in the 2018 denaturalization filing identify Hamed’s actual guilty-plea convictions as conspiracy to violate IEEPA and Iraqi sanctions, an IEEPA/sanctions violation, and corrupt obstruction of the administration of the internal revenue laws. The June 25, 2010 plea was to Counts 1, 10 and 33 of the second superseding indictment; the remaining counts and forfeiture allegation were dismissed. On January 11, 2012 the court imposed concurrent terms of 58, 58 and 36 months, including a 20-month cooperation reduction. May 11, 2012 was an ordered voluntary-surrender deadline; the marshal’s execution return is blank and the judge said an extension could be considered. This is not proof that Hamed actually reported on May 11. The 2018 filing sought revocation of naturalization; it is not itself a final denaturalization judgment.
