HONOLULU (AP) — A former CIA officer and contract linguist for the FBI who received cash, golf clubs and other expensive gifts in exchange for spying for China has been sentenced to a decade in prison. A U.S. district judge in Hawaii approved a plea agreement for 71-year-old Alexander Yuk Ching Ma on Wednesday. He made a deal in May with federal prosecutors. They agreed to recommend the 10-year term in exchange for his guilty plea to a count of conspiracy to gather or deliver national defense information to a foreign government. The deal also requires him to submit to U.S. government polygraph tests for the rest of his life.
