A judge says Diana Toebbe probably 'drove' a plot which saw her husband seek to sell nuclear secrets.
A former US Navy engineer and his wife have been jailed in West Virginia for trying to sell military secrets to an unspecified foreign country.
He was jailed for 18 years, while his wife Diana received 21 years - a much harsher sentence than expected.Court documents revealed that the former teacher had acted as a lookout for her husband when he left information at dead drops, once hiding a data card inside a peanut butter sandwich. "It was most probably Mrs Toebbe that was driving the bus," the judge said. "She was part of the plan."
Judge Groh also expressed exasperation at the behaviour of the wife, who was caught passing a letter to her husband while they were both incarcerated urging him to follow their plan and absolve her of wrongdoing.The husband was an expert in nuclear-propulsion systems on submarines, one of the nation's most closely guarded secrets.
