Ex-CIA official indicted in corruption probe

? The CIA’s former No. 3 official was charged Tuesday with accepting lavish vacations, private jet flights and a job offer from his best friend, a defense contractor who in return is suspected of getting inside information that helped him win agency contracts.

A federal grand jury returned 11 counts of fraud, conspiracy and money laundering against Kyle “Dusty” Foggo, executive director of the CIA until he resigned in May, and San Diego defense contractor Brent Wilkes.

Foggo is the highest-ranking CIA officer to be charged with crimes allegedly committed while working for the agency. The charges grew from the bribery scandal that landed former U.S. Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham in prison.

According to the indictment, Wilkes offered Foggo a high-paying position and reserved him an office in the executive suite when he built the new headquarters of the Wilkes Corp. in 2002.
