Spain expels 2 US embassy staff for bribing intelligence agents: Report

Spain discreetly expelled at least two US embassy staff accused of bribing Spanish intelligence officers for secrets. The embassy personnel were quietly withdrawn after an investigation showed that two Spanish intelligence officers gave information for "a large sum". The Spanish intelligence agency (CNI) officers, a chief of the area, and his assistant were arrested two months ago. U.S. ambassador Julissa Reynoso was summoned by Spanish authorities and apologized.
