In early October, a federal court in the United States ordered Iran to pay $1.45 billion in punitive and compensatory damages over missing ex-FBI Agent Robert Levinson. His family, as reported in Time Magazine<\/a>, has called this decision \u201cthe first step in the pursuit of justice.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Voice of America<\/a>, U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly, following a week of emotional testimony from Levinson\u2019s family, awarded $107 million in compensatory messages, and about $1.3 billion in punitive damages. Time Magazine<\/a> reports that the court\u2019s judgement cited the case of Otto Warmbier- an American college student who was freed from captivity in North Korea and died shortly after- in determining the amount owed to the Levinson family. The damages awarded by the judge came after, the Associated Press<\/a> reports, a federal judge in Washington held Iran liable for his disappearance, saying that the country was \u201cin no uncertain terms\u201d responsible for Levinson\u2019s \u201chostage taking and torture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Levinson, according to the AP<\/a>, disappeared on March 9, 2007. His family received a video in 2010 and proof of life photographs in 2011, but his condition and location were still unknown. Just prior to the government\u2019s declaration of his death in 2020, President Donald Trump stated in a press conference that Levinson\u2019s condition was \u201cnot looking promising.\u201d He further said that Levinson, who had diabetes and high blood pressure, had had \u201csome rough problems\u201d prior to his disappearance.<\/p>\n

Iranian officials, according to VOA<\/a>, are denying any part in the disappearance or death of Levinson, claiming that Levinson had left the country earlier. The AP reports that Iran continued to deny any involvement in the case until November, when they indicated that Levinson was the subject of an \u201copen case\u201d in Iranian Revolutionary Court. It was later discovered that the \u201copen case\u201d was an investigation into his disappearance.<\/p>\n

According to Al Jazeera<\/a>, Levinson disappeared after flying from Dubai to Kish Island, which is controlled by Iran, in March 2007. Reuters<\/a> reports that Levinson was meeting with Daoud Salahuddin, an American Islamic militant who fled to Iran after being charged with the murder of an Iranian embassy official based in Washington. The Times of Israel<\/a> indicates that U.S. officials would only say that Levinson, an FBI investigator responsible for taking down Russian and Italian mobsters, was working for a private firm on his trip. However, the Associated Press revealed in 2013 that Levinson had in fact been sent by Central Intelligence Agency analysts who did not have the power to authorize such a mission. According to The Guardian<\/a>, the news of Levinson\u2019s involvement with the CIA led to the government paying the Levinson family $2.5 million in order to prevent them from filing a lawsuit that would have revealed details about the arrangement between Levinson and the CIA.<\/p>\n

The AP<\/a> reported in March 2020 that U.S. officials, upon receiving undisclosed information regarding Levinson\u2019s case, concluded Levison was dead. White House national security adviser Robert O\u2019Brien indicates that the time of Levinson\u2019s presumed death was unknown but could have been \u201csome time ago.\u201d O\u2019Brien also states that \u201cIran must provide a complete accounting of what occurred with Bob Levinson before the United States can fully accept what happened in this case.\u201d The government has acknowledged Levinson\u2019s death, but President Donald Trump appeared on the news saying, \u201cI won\u2019t accept that he\u2019s dead.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once the government formally acknowledged his death, Robert Levinson\u2019s family released a statement, saying \u201cIt is impossible to describe our pain. Our family will spend the rest of our lives without the most amazing man, a new reality that is inconceivable to us. His grandchildren will never meet him. They will only know him through the stories we tell them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
