Spy Charges Against Ex-FBI Analyst

According to the AP:

A former FBI intelligence analyst who worked under two vice presidents was sentenced Wednesday to 10 years in prison for passing secret U.S. documents in an effort to topple the Philippine government.

Leandro Aragoncillo, 48, apologized in court for his actions and said he was just trying to help bring Filipinos out of poverty.


According to documents released by investigators, Aragoncillo has faced other charges of espionage, dating back to his high school years.

The reports claim that Aragoncillo, along with fellow Angel Beach High students, Pee Wee Morris and Tommy Turner, were caught spying in the girl's locker room shower.

Charges were dropped against the sophomore when the only witness, Coach Beulah Ballbricker, could not produce a positive identification.
