The former special agent is also accused of concealing $225,000 in payments from an Albanian agent.

Former top US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent Charles McGonigal has been sentenced to four years in prison for helping Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska. The BBC reported it.

“I committed a felony, and as a former FBI special agent, it causes me great emotional and physical pain,” McGonigal said during the hearing.

The man is also accused of concealing a $225,000 payment from an Albanian agent while working for the FBI. McGonigal is scheduled to be sentenced in the case in Washington next February.


Charles McGonigal is a former Special Assignment Agent for the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division in New York, who retired in 2018. In the past, he took part in investigations into Russian oligarchs, in particular Deripaska.

Along with former Soviet and Russian diplomat and US citizen Sergei Shestakov, McGonigal worked on Deripaska’s behalf in 2019 to request that sanctions against him be lifted.

In 2021, they conspired to provide services to Deripaska in violation of US sanctions.

In January, the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York charged Charles McGonigal with helping Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska violate sanctions against him and Russia.

As already written, the State Bureau of Investigation of Ukraine established that a Ukrainian enterprise owned by Russian businessman Oleg Deripaska supplied parts for rocket production to the Russian Federation.
