Man sentenced for selling fake airplane parts for popular engine
Fox News
A fake aircraft engine parts scandal has led to a nearly five-year prison sentence for Jose Alejandro Zamora Yrala, who sold over 60,000 fraudulent components through AOG Technics.
Prosecutors said more than 60,000 suspect parts entered the global aviation supply chain as a result of the scheme. Many of the parts were linked to CFM56 engines, widely used in Airbus and Boeing aircraft. The discovery of the fraudulent components in 2023 led to planes being temporarily grounded and prompted calls for tighter industry oversight.
Judge Simon Picken said Zamora Yrala’s actions amounted to a "more or less complete undermining of a regulatory framework designed to safeguard the millions of people who fly every day."
