South Carolina engineer Gregory Allen Justice, who worked on military and commercial satellite programs, was sentenced to 5 years in prison for trying to sell secret information to Russia.

50-year-old man contacted the undercover FBI agent, suggesting that he was dealing with an agent of the Russian special services, the report said California Prosecutors.

Justice pleaded guilty to economic espionage and trying to smuggle classified information outside the United States, which violates a number of US and international norms and laws.

Во время ряда встреч с агентом в 2016 году, когда велось расследование, Джастис получил от него 3 500 долларов, большую часть из которых он отправил «интернет-возлюбленной», с которой никогда не встречался. Кроме того, он отправил ей несколько тысяч своих личных денег.

During one of the meetings with the agent, the man offered him a tour of the production facility where he worked, and the alleged Russian intelligence officer could get a lot of photos of the secret facility using special glasses for photographing, according to investigative documents.
