A former CIA officer is arrested in the United States after an FBI raid of his Virginia home reportedly turned up hundreds of gold bars valued at about $40 million. Multiple outlets report that the search took place earlier this month and that authorities also seized cash, with one account describing roughly $2 million in cash, along with other luxury items. CBS and other reports cite an affidavit in describing the basis for the arrest. The CBS reporting adds that investigators were looking into whether the former CIA official lied about elements of his background. Media reports characterize the discovery as “hundreds” of gold bars and describe the value as over $40 million. Other outlets similarly describe the case as involving a former senior CIA official and state that the FBI arrested him after the materials were found in his home. The outlets agree on the core facts: the arrest follows an FBI search; the location is a Virginia residence; and the items found include gold bars worth approximately $40 million and, according to several reports, a significant amount of cash.
