Diana Toebbe: Harsher sentence for wife of spy convicted in US

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.

Jonathan Toebbe, 42, had worked in the office of the chief of naval operations and was caught offering secrets about nuclear-powered submarines.

He was jailed for 18 years, while his wife Diana received 21 years – a much harsher sentence than expected.

The judge suggested the wife, 42, had been in charge of the operation.

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.
