PNN – A former senior CIA official with a top-secret clearance was arrested on charges of stealing hundreds of gold bars, millions of dollars in cash and storing them in his home.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, American media reported the arrest of a former senior CIA official who, despite having a top-secret clearance, was accused of stealing hundreds of gold bars, millions of dollars in cash and dozens of luxury watches.
According to the report, the accused kept significant amounts of gold bars and about $2 million in cash, along with a collection of expensive watches, in his home.
This case has once again exposed the dimensions of corruption and abuse in the US security and intelligence structures; an institution that has always claimed transparency and combating corruption in other countries.
