Montaperto out of prison

Convicted Chinese spy Ronald Montaperto is out of prison today, February 25, after serving only three months for passing classified information to communist intelligence officers.

Federal Judge Gerald Bruce Lee called the allegations against Montaperto, a top DIA China specialist, "very serious" yet handed down the light sentence based on letters he received from Montaperto's supporters in the government and intelligence community.

As part of a plea arrangement, Bill Gertz reports in the Washington Times, Montaperto is forbidden to make contact with Chinese intelligence officers.
