Authorities have charged Sgt Schultz with conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defense information, exporting technical data related to defense articles without a license, conspiracy to export defense articles without a license, and bribery of a public official. It remains unclear whether he has retained an attorney who can provide comments on the charges against him.
