A former agent of the FBI and CIA who pleaded guilty to fraud when obtaining citizenship was briefly married to the brother of a doctor who just opened an office in Hazleton. The case of Nada Nadim Prouty raises questions about whether something is wrong with the screening practices at the FBI and the CIA, two of the nation’s most security-conscious agencies, but illustrates how a threat can grow when a person remains in the country illegally.

Prouty also worked as a clerk in the Alley family’s medical office in Berwick while applying to the FBI and earning a master’s degree from Bloomsburg University, her former mother-in-law, Ramona Alley, said Wednesday.
