Ex-CIA officer, wife charged with spying
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — In a case with Cold War echoes and implications for future U.S.-Russia relations, a former top CIA counterintelligence officer and his wife were arrested and charged with selling national security secrets to the Kremlin.
The case, as described in the federal affidavit for the arrest of Aldrich Hazen Ames and his wife, Maria Del Rosario Casas Ames, has many of the elements of a spy thriller novel: hand-offs of secret CIA documents at "dead drops," $1.5 million in alleged Russian payoffs and FBI agents sifting trash cans for clues.
The White House was reviewing how the case might affect relations with Russia at a time when the United States is strongly supporting President Boris Yeltsin and providing millions of dollars in aid.
Ames, 52, and his wife, Maria, 41, of Arlington, Va., appeared before a federal magistrate in Alexandria, Va., yesterday on charges of conspiracy to commit espionage.
Ames and his wife are accused of accepting more than $1.5 million in payoffs for information. The money is alleged to have been laundered through numerous bank accounts in
The afffdavit says that in 1984 Ames began meeting with Soviet Embassy officials in Washington as part of a CIA effort to seek out potential double agents in the embassy.
Switzerland and in the United States,
"which he and his wife subsequently
used for personal gain and enjoyment,
"the affidavit stated.
At an unspecified point during this operation, the affidavit says, U.S. officials became aware that he did not report — as required — all of his meetings with Soviet Embassy officials, or reported them months afterward.
Some of the information cited by the U.S. investigators — including a typewriter or printer ribbon that provided information about the foreign trips — was obtained through FBI searches of trash at the couple's home.
Ames is accused of having met surreptitiously with KGB or SVRR (Russian foreign intelligence) officials on several occasions, including in October 1992 in Caracas, Venezuela, and in November 1993 in Bogota, Colombia. Large bank deposits by Ames, which U.S. investigators said were too large to be from his CIA salary, were made in his Virginia bank accounts shortly after the alleged trips to Caracas and Bogota, the affidavit says.
Federal sting of NASA nets charges against nine men
The Associated Press
HOUSTON — Nine men, including two NASA employees, were accused yesterday of involvement in a kickback and bribery scheme at the Johnson Space Center.
The charges are in the form of six criminal complaints as a result of agreements by each defendant to waive indictment by grand jury.
General Electric Corp. and Martin Marietta Corp. agreed jointly to reimburse the government $1 million to pay for the investigation, the U.S. attorney said.
Vincent Stefan Maleche, 54, a division director for General Electric Government Service, is charged with soliciting and with accepting $2,500 from an FBI agent posing as a contractor willing to take kickbacks in return for subcontracts. He also is charged with soliciting and accepting inside information related to a $1.3 billion NASA contract.
Also named was Augustine Anthony Verrengia, 60, who worked for Martin Marietta. He was charged with accepting a $5,000 kickback from an agent and in return promising subcontracts.
Others named were David Proctor, 34, and James Milton Verlander Jr., 53, charged with two counts of bribery. Verlander allegedly was paid $5,000 to recruit an inside source, Proctor, to toit a fake kidney machine that had depicted as worthy of including on a space shuttle flight, according to federal authorities.
A corporation, Astro International Corp., of League City, was charged with unlawfully receiving NASA documents related to a $3 million contract.
In addition, Douglas Shaffer, the company president, 52, of Bayview; Kenneth Smith, 52, of Granbury, director of NASA programs for the firm; and Lawrence Stevenson, 56, of Houston, its former business development manager, were charged with violating federal acquisition regulations.
Stephen Cieland, 46, of Houston, was charged with using his official position as a NASA contracting officer to solicit a job for his son.
James Robertson, 56, of McLean, Va., a partner with J.M. Beggs Associates, a consulting firm in Arlington, Va., was charged with accepting inside bid information.
