Nada Nadim Prouty is a former CIA case officer of Lebanese (Lebanese people) origin who was recruited in 2003 into the CIA from the FBI, where she had been a special agent since 1999. In 2005 she was investigated for passing information to Hezbollah because her brother-in-law was suspected of having ties to Hezbollah. U.S. officials said that there was no evidence that Prouty passed secrets to Hezbollah or to other groups the United States considers terrorist. However, the investigation uncovered that Prouty committed naturalization fraud when she was 19 years old, by paying a man to marry her so she could get U.S. citizenship. She voluntarily waived the 10-year statute of limitations on immigration fraud (Illegal immigration) and in 2007 pled guilty to immigration fraud and to unauthorized use of an FBI computer.
In an interview with CBS 60 Minutes in 2010, she claimed that she pled guilty to the computer charge to end the case, and was given no jail time in exchange for her plea.
