Former CIA Officer Recruited by Russian SVR, Paid $300K Before 1996 Arrest
Former CIA Officer Recruited by Russian SVR, Paid $300K Before 1996 Arrest The passage provides a specific historical allegation of a CIA officer being recruited by the Russian SVR and paid a large sum before his 1996 arrest. While it names a high‑level intelligence figure (James Jesus Angleton) and details a financial transaction, the case is decades old and already part of the public record, limiting its novelty and immediate investigative value. Key insights: CIA officer (referred to as Nicholson) allegedly recruited by the SVR.; Payment of $300,000 to the officer before his FBI arrest in November 1996.; Officer convicted of espionage and sentenced to 23 years.
