Culture of Corruption: Lawrence Franklin, US defense department analyst jailed over spying

BBC


A former US defence department analyst has been sentenced to 12 years and seven months in jail for disclosing classified information.
Lawrence Franklin passed information to an Israeli diplomat and two pro-Israeli lobbyists about a Middle East country.

No details were given, but that country is believed to be Iran.

Franklin has agreed to co-operate with the prosecution in a separate case against the two lobbyists, and could have his sentence reduced as a result.
