Robert Philip Hanssen, a career FBI agent who provided intelligence to the Soviets, finally landed in prison. Hanssen, who provided the names of operatives and double agents in exchange for over $1 million in cash and diamonds between 1979 and 1999, was arrested.

At the time of the arrest at a park in Vienna, Virginia, Hanssen, age 56, was clandestinely placing a package containing highly classified information at a pre-arranged, or “dead drop,” site for pick-up by his Russian handlers. Hanssen had previously received substantial sums of money from the Russians for the information he disclosed to them.

Ironically, Hanssen at times even headed the FBI unit responsible for tracking and arresting Soviet agents.
