A U.S. Army major doctor and their physician wife were arrested for an alleged criminal plot to give Russia confidential medical information about people connected to the U.S. military and government, CNBC reported.
Federal prosecutors claim Rockville, Maryland couple Maj. Jamie Lee Henry and anesthesiologist Anna Gabrielian aimed to help Russia in its ongoing war against Ukraine.
The couple believed they were passing medical information to a Russian embassy employee, according to an eight-count indictment unsealed in a Baltimore federal court. However, the recipient of the confidential material was an undercover FBI agent.
The indictment accuses the couple of giving the worker that information to demonstrate their level of access to such material about "U.S. personnel" and to show "the potential for the Russian government to gain insights into the medical conditions of individuals associated with the U.S. government and military, to exploit this information."
In 2015, Henry was reported to be the first known active-duty Army officer to come out as transgender.
