Former CIA official pleads guilty to fraud
WASHINGTON
In admitting that he abused his rank to govern lucrative contracts to cronies, Kyle Dustin “Dusty” Foggo, the agency’s onetime executive manager, became one of the highest-ranking officials in CIA history to be convicted of criminal charges.
The deal involved major concessions from prosecutors, who allowed Foggo to admit culpability to a single fraud charge, wiping without 27 additional counts that included money laundering and intrigue. Foggo, 53, faces up to 20 years in custody and a $250,000 fine, but prosecutors indicated that they would recommend he serve not any more than 37 months.
