A United States District Court Judge has sentenced a Pennsylvania Antifa terror couple to prison and probation over a 2023 bombing attack at the University of Pittsburgh. Brian DiPippa, 37, and his wife Krystal DiPippa, 42, of Pittsburgh, pleaded guilty to plotting and attacking a conservative speaking event using homemade incendiary devices and explosives. Several police officers were injured in the attack, according to a press release from the Department of Justice.
Judge J. Nicholas Ranjan sentenced Brian “Peppy” DiPippa on Monday to five years in prison. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy and obstruction of law enforcement. His charge of using an explosive to commit a federal felony was dismissed as part of a plea agreement. Krystal DiPippa pleaded guilty to obstruction of law enforcement and received a sentence of three years of probation, including 80 hours of community service. The conspiracy charge against her was dropped as part of a sweetheart plea deal, court filings show.
The DiPippas, who belong to a violent Antifa terrorist cell, were also ordered to jointly pay the University of Pittsburgh $1,400 in restitution and $47,284 to a University of Pittsburgh police officer for financial damages resulting from injuries sustained by the couple’s actions.
