A DROP OF TREASON
By Jonathan Stevenson
One morning in December 1965, the C.I.A. station chief in Montevideo, Uruguay, went to the city’s Police Headquarters to tell security officials about a disinformation campaign the Americans were planning in their country. Like the rest of Latin America, Uruguay was a Cold War battleground, and Washington was eager to discredit a left-wing insurrection in this case, by concocting rumors that Soviet agents had infiltrated Uruguayan labor unions. Accompanying the C.I.A. chief was a 30-year-old case officer named Philip Agee, who was helping coordinate the plot.
A criminal investigation into a veteran Estonian diplomat who was recalled from his post as ambassador to France primarily concerns the misappropriation of money, the prosecutor s office revealed Friday afternoon, as well as breaches in the rules regarding classified information.
Kull had been ambassador to France since late 2019 and has a diplomatic career which spans the entire length of post-restoration-of-independence Estonian history.
The initial reports stated that Kull was suspected of misusing classified information, but Public Prosecutor Inna Ombler told ERR Friday that Kull is primarily suspected of embezzlement, with the sums of money amounting to the thousands of euros and not more, so far as is known at present.
Minister of Defense Kalle Laanet (Reform) admitted that there are too many documents labeled "information intended for internal use" (AK) in the Estonian public sector and he would be opposed to extending the classification of documents indefinitely.
