A U.S. army couple has been arrested after allegedly providing health records of U.S. military employees to an FBI undercover agent they thought was an employee of the Russian embassy.
Dr. Anna Gabrielian — a Johns Hopkins hospital anesthesiologist working in Baltimore— and her husband, U.S. army major and doctor Jamie Lee Henr, were indicted Thursday morning in Maryland for conspiring to provide the Russian government with soldiers' personal medical information, which is a federal offense.
According toTheNew York Times, Dr. Gabrielian, 36, was charged withone count of conspiracy and two counts of wrongful disclosureof individually identifiable health information.
Henry, 39, was also charged with one count of conspiracy but received five counts of wrongful disclosure of individually identifiable health information.
If convicted, “the defendants facea maximum sentence of five years in federal prisonfor the conspiracy, and a maximum of 10 years in federal prison for each count of disclosing IIHI,” the Department of Justice said in a release.
“Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically less than the maximum penalties,” the release read. “A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after taking into account the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.”
PEOPLE was reached out to legal representation for both Gabrielian and Henry, but did not immediately hear back.
At that point in time, Henry — who worked as a staff internist at Fort Bragg in North Carolina and had secret security clearance — reportedly met with the undercover agent, again believing the agent to be working for the Russian Embassy. He allegedly provided the agent with health records of a U.S. Army officer, Department of Defense employee, and the spouses of three Army veterans.
Gabrielian also allegedly met with the agent and offered to provide the medical information of “the spouse of a government employee and military veteran.”
