Default FBI raid on CIA chief's home after he resigns

FBI raid on CIA chief's home after he resigns
By Francis Harris in Washington
(Filed: 13/05/2006)

Federal agents yesterday raided the home and office of the CIA's outgoing number three in a dramatic deepening of corruption investigations at America's premier spy agency.
Search warrants were executed by several federal law enforcement agencies against Kyle "Dusty" Foggo, the FBI said.
Mr Foggo resigned as CIA executive director on Monday, just after the still unexplained departure of agency director Porter Goss.
Mr Goss, who is not accused of wrongdoing, appointed Mr Foggo to his post.
Television news helicopters showed aerial images of men wearing white forensic suits entering and leaving Mr Foggo's home in suburban Virginia.
Mr Foggo is under investigation by the FBI, the CIA's inspector general, the tax authorities and the Defence Criminal Investigative Service.
They have been looking into reports that defence contractors organised late night poker games for top spies and legislators at the Watergate hotel in Washington.
One of the contractors alleged to have been involved was a boyhood friend of Mr Foggo. He was also involved with a company which won a CIA contract to supply agents in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Investigators are seeking to establish whether the contract was improperly awarded. Mr Foggo denies any wrongdoing.
The CIA recently released a statement which stated: "Mr Foggo maintains that government contracts for which he was responsible were properly awarded and administered."
The investigation is a spin-off from the inquiry into disgraced Republican congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham, who was sentenced to eight years imprisonment for corruptly accepting more than $2.4 million (£1.2 million) from contractors.
