Andrezj Boryga, 67, was sentenced to two years in jail, and two subsequent years of supervised release, on Tuesday after pleading guilty to leaving voice messages with death threats at Anti-Defamation League offices in Colorado, Nevada, New York and Texas between July 9 and Dec. 14, 2022, the U.S. Justice Department stated.
“This defendant made heinous, repeated violent threats targeting Jewish people and organizations. His actions were not just heinous, they were unlawful,” stated Merrick Garland, the U.S. attorney general.
“This case represents the latest effort by the Justice Department to combat the disturbing increase in threats against Jews and Jewish institutions across the United States that we have seen in the wake of Oct. 7,” Garland added. “We will continue to aggressively investigate and prosecute threats and acts of violence motivated by antisemitism and by hatred of any kind.”
The Justice Department spelled the defendant’s name “Andrzej” differently in October 2023, when it stated that he faced up to 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release and up to $250,000 in fines.
