In 1985 CIA official Aldrich Ames married his second wife, Maria del Rosario Casas Dupuy, a Colombian he had recruited to work for the intelligence agency. That year Rosario, who was no longer working for the CIA, helped Ames begin selling American intelligence information to the KGB. Ames and Rosario were arrested in 1994, by which time they had received more than $2.7 million, the most money paid by the Soviet Union or Russia to any American for spying. Ames was sentenced to life. Rosario pleaded guilty to tax evasion and conspiracy to commit espionage. She received 63 months in prison. After her release, she and her son, Paul Ames, returned to Colombia.
