A former senior FBI counterintelligence agent is attempting to negotiate a plea deal over charges of violating economic sanctions and money laundering related to his work for Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska.
, who served as the head of counterintelligence at the FBI’s New York City field office before his 2018 retirement.
The first case, filed in New York, relates to his relationship with Deripaska, and a second in Washington, D.C., regards his collection of $225,000 in unreported payments from a former Albanian intelligence officer. McGonigal initially pleaded not guilty to both sets of charges — but that may change.
On Monday, Manhattan Federal Judge Jennifer Rearden wrote in a briefing that “the court has been informed that defendant Charles McGonigal may wish to enter a change of plea.” that there was a “decent chance the [Washington, D.C.] case is going to be resolved” without the need for a jury trial.
