“Major Matthew Golsteyn’s immediate commander has determined that sufficient evidence exists to warrant the preferral of charges against him,” said Lt. Col. Loren Bymer, a spokesman for U.S. Army Special Operations Command, in a statement last week.

Golsteyn has been charged with premeditated murder, a charge that could result in the death penalty if he is convicted.

The Army Criminal Investigation Command’s initial investigation of Golsteyn began after he admitted in a 2011 CIA job interview that he had killed the man he suspected of being a bomb maker. The investigators did not determine conclusively that Golsteyn had killed the man, but the admission resulted in Golsteyn losing a Silver Star for heroism he had earned during his deployment.
A later review of the alleged killing by an Army Review Board resulted in Golsteyn leaving the Army in 2015 with a general discharge.
The Army investigation into the alleged incident was triggered following Golsteyn’s October 2016 appearance on Fox News, in which he said that he had killed the man during his deployment.
