While the U.S. FBI sends agents to Cyprus to ensure compliance with the sanctions, its very own agents generate lucrative business from these sanctions. Charles McGonigal, 55, former Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Counterintelligence Division in New York, found himself on the wrong side of the law. McGonigal, once a top dog in the FBI, has been sentenced to 50 months in prison for conspiring to violate U.S. sanctions against Russia.
