Ex-FBI Agent McGonigal Admits Concealing Payments and Pleads Guilty in Payment Plot
TL;DR
Former FBI agent Charles McGonigal pleaded guilty to concealing $225,000 in cash payments from a former Albanian intelligence officer and prospective business partner. McGonigal, who had already pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge related to his work for Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, faced a nine-count indictment in Washington for failing to report cash payments and trips to Europe. The trips were intended to lay the groundwork for a security consulting business. McGonigal apologized to the FBI and could face up to five years in prison, although prosecutors are expected to seek a more lenient sentence.
