SPARTA WOMAN PLEADS GUILTY TO AIDING FOREIGN TERRORIST ORGANIZATION

A Sparta, Tennessee, woman pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court, on Jan. 18, 2022, to concealing material support and resources intended to be provided to a Foreign Terrorist Organization, announced U.S. Attorney Mark H. Wildasin for the Middle District of Tennessee.

Georgianna A.M. Giampietro, 36, was indicted by a federal grand jury, in August 2019, charging her with attempting to provide material support to a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization.  She was arrested at her home by FBI agents shortly thereafter and remains in custody.  A superseding Information filed last week charges Giampietro with Concealment of Material Support and Resources Intended to be Provided to a Foreign Terrorist Organization, the charge to which she pleaded guilty.
