FBI Director Says He Hopes To See Indicted Foreign Intelligence Officers Imprisoned In US

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has been more aggressive in calling out the actions of Russia's GRU and hopes to see indicted foreign intelligence officers imprisoned, FBI Director Christopher Wray said on Friday

WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 26th April, 2019) The Federal Bureau of Investigation has been more aggressive in calling out the actions of Russia's GRU and hopes to see indicted foreign intelligence officers imprisoned, FBI Director Christopher Wray said on Friday.

"Some people sometimes question whether it makes sense to charge and indict foreign intelligence officers," Wray said in remarks at the Council of Foreign Relations in Washington.

"I actually happen to believe that it makes sense because sometimes in foreign intelligence arena when you get into questions of attribution, I am tempted to say nothing says attribution more than an indictment."

Wray said the foreign intelligence officers' options to travel get decidedly smaller once they are indicted, and added that "The FBI has a long memory and a broad reach, and I would not be surprised if we see some of these people in orange jump suits one day."
