According to a statement by the office of the Israeli prime minister Israeli Spy Jonathan Pollard has been released on parole after spending three decades in a US federal prison.

Pollard was arrested in 1985 for selling classified US documents to Israel while working as a civilian intelligence analyst for the American Navy. He was given a life sentence two years later.

The 61-year-old was freed on parole Friday after three decades in a US federal prison.

The former US Navy intelligence officer had been serving a life sentence in the Butner prison in North Carolina.

Under the terms of Pollard’s parole, he must remain in the US between two and five years.

US-born Pollard was granted Israeli “citizenship” 20 years ago, years after his conviction on one count of espionage against the United States; Press TV reported.
