A former FBI agent who passed on confidential information to a friend about an ongoing federal investigation in New Jersey was sentenced Tuesday to four years of probation, the Washington Post reports.
Ivan Stanchev, 43, delivered information about a criminal probe in Newark to a friend who apparently was curious about an undercover operation, the Washington Post reported.
Among the information were four telephone numbers and the names of people linked to the probe, the Post wrote.
The information “was in no way classified and did not involve national security,” Stanchev’s attorney said.
