A federal jury in Sacramento returned guilty verdicts on all four counts against Anton Andreyevich Iagounov, 38, of South Lake Tahoe, following a three-day trial in the Eastern District of California [1]. The charges centered on Iagounov's alleged fabrication of law enforcement credentials and court documents, which he used to extract protected information from federal agencies [1]. No case number appeared in available court records at the time of publication.
The government's evidence showed that Iagounov created counterfeit investigative documents bearing the signature of a fictional agent purportedly assigned to the NASA Office of Inspector General [1]. He then transmitted those documents to the Department of Defense in an effort to obtain protected government information [1]. The scheme implicated multiple federal agencies, spanning NASA, the Department of Defense, and the federal court system, whose processes Iagounov simulated through fabricated filings [1].
The jury convicted Iagounov on all four counts of impersonating a federal officer [1]. Sentencing has not been scheduled as of the verdict date; no sentencing date appeared in available records [1]. Federal impersonation convictions under 18 U.S.C. § 912 carry statutory penalties that the district court will determine at a future hearing.
No immediate appeal filing was reported in the source material. Post-trial motions, if any, had not been docketed in publicly available records as of July 5, 2026 [1].
