A 22-year-old military police officer in Alaska has been sentenced to a 16-year jail term in connection with his efforts to sell classified documents to a person he believed was a Russian intelligence officer. In 2011, William Millay was stationed at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson near Anchorage when he began to talk toand solicit help fromother military members regarding selling classified national defense information to the Russians. This case really drives home the point that the insider threat is alive and well, said Special Agent Sam Johnson, who supervises a national security squad in our Anchorage Division. Thats why counterintelligence investigations continue to be a very high priority for the FBI. (English)
