According to the American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) reported on the 15th, a two-page report by the inspector general of the US Department of Justice showed that five officials of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) "prostituted" during an overseas mission. Four of the agents "solicited, acquired and accepted sex deals overseas." In addition, an agent tried unsuccessfully to prostitute himself.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz wrote in the report: "The investigation by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) also found that the lack of confession by the agents about their solicitation of prostitutes and other misconduct during the interrogations and polygraphs requested by the OIG violated FBI regulations." One of the agents even made a false statement, and the agent denied having sex with a prostitute, in violation of federal law. ”

The U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI explicitly prohibit employees from engaging in prostitution. The report also revealed some other details, such as saying an agent was found to have handed over a packet of "about 100 white pills" to a foreign law enforcement official. But the report did not disclose what exactly these pills were, and the media speculated that it might be drugs.
It is reported that two of the five FBI agents who prostituted the above have resigned, two have retired, and the other has been fired. None of the five agents reported to the FBI the illegal conduct they or others had committed, or their possible relationships with foreign nationals, the report said. There are no details in the report about where the sex trade took place, nor are the names of the agents involved.
