The former senior counterintelligence officer at the FBI office in New York, Charles McGonigal, will appear in court today, where he will be sentenced for what has been described as the Albanian case, in which the name of Prime Minister Edi is also mentioned Rama.
The prosecution requested a sentence of 30 months in prison and a $95,000 fine. On the other hand, McGonigal's lawyer is asking for a sentence of one to seven months, but in the end it will be up to the court to decide.
We recall that former FBI official Charles McGonigal has pleaded guilty in the Washington federal court, admitting that he hid secret payments made to him by a former Albanian intelligence officer, Agron Neza.
McGonigal admitted to falsifying records and making false statements about the $225,000 she received from the former Albanian intelligence agent while working for the FBI.
According to the statement of the US Department of Justice, the former special agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation assigned to the New York office, admitted after the agreement with the prosecutors, that he received the 225,000 dollars from an individual who had business interests in Europe , as he was supervising the counterintelligence work.
In December, McGonigal was sentenced in New York to more than four years in prison for his work for a sanctioned Russian oligarch and close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Prosecutors in Washington argued that McGonigal's actions "suggest he was compromised" and employment after his retirement from the FBI "was not his sole motivation."
The FBI was also forced to review multiple investigations it had knowledge of to determine whether they had been compromised, according to prosecutors.
