Ex-high ranking FBI agent gets prison term for helping Russian oligarch

Former FBI special agent, Charles McGonigal, has been sentenced to over four years in prison and fined $40,000 for providing information to a Russian oligarch in violation of US sanctions. McGonigal, who led a counterintelligence division, received a payment for laundering money from a Russian bank to his private account. The judge, Jennifer H Rearden, stated that the sentence was meant to balance McGonigal's 22 years of FBI service with the seriousness of his crimes. McGonigal also awaits another sentencing for concealing payments from a former Albanian intelligence officer.
