According to the indictment, the couple understood that they would be providing sensitive said Henry and Gabrielian believed they would be giving medical information related to patients at Fort Bragg and Johns Hopkins to a person working at the Russian embassy in Washington.
Their contact, in reality, was an undercover FBI agent who approached Gabrielian last month about an offer she allegedly made to assist the Russian embassy months ago. The agent met with Gabrlelian in a hotel room in Baltimore.
According to the indictment, Gabrlelian told the undercover agent that “she was motivated by patriotism toward Russia to provide any assistance she could to Russia, even if it meant being fired or going to jail.”
