FBI Agent Punished for Exposing Boss’s Affair With an Informant, Suit Claims
By Jeff Stein, CQ Staff
The FBI’s former top agent in Panama carried on an affair with a confidential informant that left him open to blackmail by “a hostile foreign intelligence agency,” according to his former deputy, who has filed a discrimination suit against the bureau.

Cecilia Woods, a veteran agent herself, was deputy to the FBI’s legal attach頩n the U.S. Embassy in Panama during 1999-2000, when she discovered that her boss was having a sexual relationship with the woman, a former Panamanian government official.

Her boss admitted to that affair, as well as others, during a Nov. 4, 2003, deposition taken as part of Woods’ suit and seen by CQ Homeland Security.

Woods said that the affairs left her boss, legal attach頇il Torrez, open to blackmail by hostile foreign intelligence agents in Panama, a money-laundering hub for drug kingpins and other top criminals in Latin America.
