John Harold Rogers, a former senior adviser to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, has been sentenced to more than three years in prison.
The sentence follows his conviction for lying to federal investigators regarding his sharing of restricted central-bank information with Chinese intelligence operatives.
The case represents one of the most prominent US prosecutions alleging Chinese intelligence targeting of American financial institutions.
The development arrives as the Trump administration intensifies its pursuit of foreign economic espionage.
Rogers' sentencing highlights the severe legal consequences for former officials who compromise national security protocols.
