The two men accused of impersonating federal operatives and gifting Secret Service agents rent-free apartments, smartphones, TVs and other items were ordered to home confinement this week after a federal judge ruled they were not a flight risk.
Arian Taherzadeh, 40, and Haider Sher-Ali, 35, were released to their families on Wednesday and will remain under house arrest. The two will also be monitored by GPS technology, according to court documents outlining the conditions of their release.
Taherzadeh was spotted by photographers entering his father’s home in Sterling, Va. Wednesday afternoon and waved to the cameras, holding a shopping bag in one hand and several documents in another.
His father, Masoud Taherzadeh, told reporters that “Everything is beautiful, everything is good,” according to the Daily Mail.
“There is nothing else to say now,” he added.
US Magistrate Judge G. Michael Harvey signed the orders for the two men’s release on Tuesday and called the Department of Justice’s claims that the men were dangerous and compromised national security “overblown,” according to CNN.
