Mr McGonigal is the highest-ranking FBI officer charged with such a crime.

McGonigal was tasked with investigating Russian oligarchs while overseeing the FBI’s counterintelligence division in New York.

McGonigal took full responsibility for his actions that violated his country’s prestige.

“I committed a felony and as a former FBI special agent it causes me extreme emotional and physical pain,” he said.

The BBC reported that prosecutors had asked for five years in prison, but it was reduced to four years.
