\n

A former FBI agent in California<\/a> was sentenced Monday to six years in federal prison for accepting at least $150,000 in gifts and cash bribes to provide confidential information to a man with organized crime ties.<\/p>\n

Babak Broumand, 56, of Lafayette, was sentenced in federal court in Los Angeles. After an 11-day trial, he was convicted last year of conspiracy, bribery of a public official and monetary transactions in property derived from unlawful activity, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Broumand, who joined the FBI in 1999, worked until 2018 in the bureau\u2019s San Francisco office, where he was responsible for national security investigations, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors said from 2015 to 2018, Broumand accepted cash and gifts that included escorts, hotel stays and private jet flights in return for searching law enforcement databases to help a self-proclaimed lawyer and his criminal associates learn if they were under investigation and avoid prosecution.<\/p>\n

Broumand “abandoned his pledge to serve the American people in exchange for a lavish lifestyle,” Donald Alway, assistant director in charge of the FBI\u2019s Los Angeles Field Office, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Court documents refer to the lawyer only as “E.S.” but his name was Edgar Sargsyan, who earlier pleaded guilty to bribing<\/a> Broumand and another federal agent and testified at his trial.<\/p>\n

The two men were introduced at a Beverly Hills cigar club.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors said Broumand would search databases for specific people at Sargsyan’s request and warn him to “stay away” if they were under criminal investigation.<\/p>\n

They included Levon Termendzhyan, described by authorities an Armenian organized crime figure for whom Sargsyan had worked. In 2020, Termendzhyan was convicted in a Utah federal court of involvement in a $1 billion fraud scheme involving renewable fuel tax credits and awaits sentencing.<\/p>\n

Authorities said Broumand also searched a confidential FBI database for information on Sam Sarkis Solakyan, who was eventually sentenced in San Diego to five years in prison for convictions for submitting more than $250 million in fraudulent claims through California\u2019s workers compensation system.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors also said that Broumand interfered with an FBI investigation<\/a> into Felix Cisneros Jr., a Homeland Security special agent with ties to Termendzhyan and Sargsyan. Cisneros was convicted of corruption and sentenced to 10 years in federal prison.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
