Times Wire Reports
A New York City judge spared a former U.S. Army engineer any prison time but fined him $50,000 for passing classified documents to the Israelis in the 1970s and ‘80s.
Federal Judge William Pauley told Ben-ami Kadish, 85, he had committed a grave offense but noted the government had dramatically reduced the charge against him.
In December, the Monroe Township, N.J., man admitted passing the documents to the Israelis from 1979 to 1985. He pleaded guilty to a count of conspiracy.
