"McGonigal", NYT: There is no indication of a connection with the

"There is no indication that former FBI official Charles McGonigal worked for Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska while in office."

This is what the "New York Times" recently wrote about the scandal that has also stirred up politics in Albania.

According to the New York Times, "a parallel indictment in Washington charging McGonigal with receiving at least $225,000 in secret payments from a former employee of an Albanian intelligence service while still at the agency has raised questions about how may have been compromised", writes "Euronews Albania".

Pjesë nga artikulli i "New York Times"

Byroja Federale e Hetimit u përpoq të rekrutonte Oleg V. Deripaska, një miliarder rus, si informator rreth vitit 2014, me shpresën se ai mund të hedhë dritë mbi krimin e organizuar dhe, më vonë, ndërhyrje të mundshme në zgjedhjet presidenciale.

Një dekadë më vonë, Deripaska mund t’i ketë kthyer tavolinat FBI-së.

Prokurorët thonë se oligarku rekrutoi një nga kapësit kryesorë të spiunëve të byrosë, pikërisht kur ai doli në pension, për të kryer punë që sipas tyre shkelte sanksionet e SHBA-së.

Akuzat e zbuluara këtë javë kundër Charles McGonigal, i cili drejtonte njësinë e kundërzbulimit në zyrën në terren të byrosë në Nju Jork dhe hetonte oligarkët rusë, duke përfshirë Deripaska, sipas aktakuzës, treguan shtrirjen e oligarkut në nivelet më të larta të pushtetit amerikan.

There is no indication in the Manhattan indictment that McGonigal worked for Deripaska while still employed by the FBI.

However, the case and a parallel indictment in Washington charging McGonigal with receiving at least $225,000 in secret payments from a former employee of an Albanian intelligence service while still at the agency have raised questions about how compromised he may have been.

Deripaska, an aluminum magnate, was on the radar of US authorities for years and remains under sanctions.

He was known as an ally of Russian President Vladimir V. Putin, the Treasury Department had reported that he had ties to organized crime.
