FBI Special Agent Charles McGonigal is expected to plead guilty next week to conspiring with a Russian oligarch.
Charles McGonigal was hit with a five-count indictment and charged with "Violating and conspiring to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and with conspiring to commit money laundering and money laundering." Mr. McGonigal retired in 2018, according to the DOJ's press release.
The DOJ alleges that both McGonigal and Shestakov knew that their actions violated US sanctions because McGonigal received classified information that Deripaska would be added to a list of Russian oligarchs to be sanctioned.
McGonigal is expected to plead guilty in Manhattan federal court next week, according to a court filing.
Charles McGonigal, the former head of counterintelligence for the FBI's New York field office, is scheduled for a "Plea proceeding" Aug. 5, according to a judge's order.
"The Court has been informed that Defendant Charles McGonigal may wish to enter a change of plea," the order said.
McGonigal, who retired from the FBI in 2018, is charged with violating U.S. sanctions by trying to get Deripaska off the sanctions list.
