“Die Hard” director John McTiernan will serve a one-year federal prison sentence for making false statements to the FBI, The Hollywood Reporter said.

“The Hunt for Red October” filmmaker was sentenced in late 2010 to one year in prison and ordered to pay a fine of $100,000 after pleading guilty to making false statements to federal investigators working on an illegal wiretapping case involving private detective Anthony Pellicano.

McTiernan has since unsuccessfully filed for an appeal, attempted to withdraw his plea and tried to have evidence against him tossed out.

The Hollywood Reporter said Tuesday McTiernan is expected to begin serving his sentence within a few weeks or months. He will be placed on probation for three years after his release.

McTiernan pleaded guilty after confronted with a recording showing he hired Pellicano to wiretap “Rollerball” producer Charles Roven. (UPI)

유명영화감독, 징역 1년형 처해


영화 "다이하드(Die Hard)"의 감독 존 맥티에르난(John McTiernan)이 FBI에 거짓을 이야기한 혐의로 연방감옥에 1년 징역살이를 하게 됐다고 더할리우드리포터(The Hollywood Reporter)가 전했다.

“붉은 10월(The Hunt for Red October)"의 감독인 맥티에르난은 불법도청사건 담당인 연방정부 조사관들에게 거짓말을 한 혐의로 2010년 말 징역 1년에 처해졌으며 1억 원의 벌금형을 받았다.

더할리우드리포터에 따르면 맥티에르난은 수 주 혹은 수 개월 내로 복역을 시작할 것이며 석방된 뒤로는 3년 간 보호감찰에 처해진다.

맥티에르난은 그가 "롤러볼(Rollerball)" 제작자인 찰스 로븐(Charles Roven)을 도청하기 위해 사립탐정 앤써니 펠리카노(Anthony Pellicano)를 고용한 사실이 드러난 녹음 자료를 보고서야 죄를 인정했다. (코리아헤럴드)
