Prosecutors are seeking 55-year prison terms for Rafat Amirov, 46, and Polad Omarov, 41, over a plot to assassinate Iranian American journalist Masih Alinejad at her Brooklyn home.
The plot came "chillingly near success," prosecutors told a judge who will sentence Amirov, of Iran, and Omarov, of Georgia, on Wednesday in Manhattan federal court. Prosecutors said the two suspects were crime bosses in the Russian mob.
