A former high-ranking FBI counterintelligence official has pleaded guilty to concealing at least $225,000 in cash that he allegedly received from a former Albanian intelligence official while working for the agency
FILE - Charles McGonigal, former special agent in charge of the FBI's counterintelligence division in New York, arrives at Manhattan federal court in New York, March 8, 2023. McGonigal pleaded guilty Friday, Sept. 22, to concealment of material facts, which carries a maximum prison sentence of five years. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 16.
Charles McGonigal, 55, was the special agent in charge of the FBI’s counterintelligence division in New York from 2016 to 2018, when he retired. The charge to which he pleaded guilty — concealment of material facts — carries a maximum prison sentence of five years. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in Washington, D.C., is scheduled to sentence McGonigal on Feb. 16, 2024.
The indictment for the Washington case does not characterize the payment to McGonigal as a bribe, but federal prosecutors say he was required to report it. The payment created a conflict of interest between McGonigal’s FBI duties and his private financial interests, the indictment said.
