A former CIA employee and a Ghanaian national were indicted by a federal grand jury in Alexandria, Va., on spy charges. Sharon M. Scranage, who worked for the CIA in Ghana for two years, was accused of passing information to Michael Agbotui Soussoudis, a Ghanaian. The 18-count indictment of Scranage alleges she disclosed classified information and the names of CIA personnel working covertly in Ghana. Soussoudis, Scranage’s former boyfriend, was charged in a separate eight-count indictment that alleged he sought information from Scranage about Ghanaians working with the CIA and about dissident groups opposed to Ghana’s government.
