A US court on Friday sentenced a former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officer to 20 years in prison for spying for China.
62-year-old Kevin Patrick Mallory was found guilty of selling "top secret" defense information to Chinese intelligence contacts when he visited Shanghai in 2017.
The defendant was a former US army soldier and later went on to hold several jobs at government agencies and defense contractors in which he had access to sensitive information.
"This case is one in an alarming trend of former US intelligence officers being targeted by China and betraying their country and colleagues," said Assistant Attorney General John Demers.
