Ex-Green Beret arrested, charged with conspiring with Russia
A former Green Beret was arrested Friday and faces charges related to conspiring with Russian intelligence operatives to provide them with U.S. national security defense information.
Peter Rafael Dzibinksi Debbins, a 45-year-old ex-Green Beret from Northern Virginia, allegedly conspired with Russian operatives and providing them with sensitive information from December 1996 to January 2011, according to a statement from the Department of Justice.
The Justice Department alleges that over a 15-year period ending in January 2011, Debbins periodically visited Russia and met with Russian intelligence agents. Justice says Russian agents gave Debbins a code name in 1997 and signed a statement indicating he wanted to serve Russia.
