An FBI agent acknowledged on the witness stand Tuesday that he may have unknowingly violated Justice Department guidelines in the case of there Cuban immigrants accused of the theft of drugs and expensive merchandise in the Las Vegas Valley.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that FBI Agent Shay Christensen admitted during cross-examination that he did not document communications with an informant as required by the Justice Department.
The agent told defense lawyer Thomas Pitaro that he did not know about the guidelines.
“You know that that’s a mandatory disclosure, don’t you?” Pitaro asked in a raised voice.
“I know now,” Christensen replied.
