The spy who flipped on me! US Navy engineer TURNS on his wife and admits trying to sell nuclear submarine secrets to a 'friendly country' while she continues to DENY the charges
- Jonathan Toebbe, 43, pleaded guilty to a single count of conspiracy to communicate restricted data to a foreign government on Monday
- The foreign government, believed to be France, immediately informed the FBI, which organized a sting
- The plea came after he and his wife, Diana, were arrested and charged in October for selling classified information on submarines to a foreign nation
- In exchange, the foreign government offered the couple thousands of dollars in cryptocurrency
- Now, the former US Navy engineer will cooperate with the US government as part of his plea deal, or face between 12 and 18 years in prison
