I almost missed this:

A U.S. Department of State official was indicted on fraud and bribery charges for allegedly issuing visas to foreign nationals in exchange for cash. Piotr Parlej was arraigned Thursday in U.S. District Court in Washington and pleaded not guilty to visa fraud, bribery and conspiracy charges, which were outlined in a 13-count indictment handed down by a federal grand jury Wednesday.
He is accused of fraudulently issuing visas for money while working at the U.S. Embassy in Armenia.
