Former FBI official pleads not guilty to charge of taking money from ex-Albanian
Charles McGonigal

Former FBI official Charles McGonigal pleaded not guilty in court today to charges that he received money from a former employee of the Albanian intelligence services and to non-reporting of contacts and connections with officials of other countries.

As it is pointed out in the indictment, he has had numerous contacts, among others, with businessmen, former officials and Albanian officials.

In a Washington court hearing that lasted less than 15 minutes and in which the defendant McGonigal participated virtually, it was agreed that he would be tried without bond and that the next hearing would be held at a second time. The session focused mainly on the technical details of the process.

On Monday, he denied further charges brought against him in New York that he violated US sanctions on Russia by working for Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska. The court decided to release him on $500,000 bail pending the trial.

As he left court, McGonigal's attorney, Seth DuCharme, told reporters that his client "has had a long and distinguished career with the FBI."

"This is obviously a distressing day for Mr McGonigal and his family, but we will look at the evidence, we will look at it closely and we have a lot of confidence in Mr McGonigal. McGonigal,” DuCharme said.

McGonigal, who retired in 2018, played a role in sensitive and high-profile investigations, including Robert Mueller's probe into alleged Russian ties to Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
