Prague, Aug 19 (CTK) - The police have accused the organiser of the Communist secret service StB plot called Kamen (Stone) aimed to catch people trying to escape from then Czechoslovakia in the early 1950s, daily Mlada fronta Dnes (MfD) writes Monday.

If convicted, the man, aged 92, who lives in Prague, may be sentenced up to 10 years in prison, MfD writes.

Shortly after the 1948 Communist coup, the StB started catching the escapees in a trap under the cover name Kamen, it adds.

A false border was established in order to make them believe that they could forget any caution and disclose everything about their opposition activities since they were already in the West, MfD writes.

Agent-provocateurs promised to ensure the flight to the West and let the escapees to be transported to a false border, MfD writes.

The Nazis are almost all dead. Time to give the Commies equal time.

That would seem to include numerous individuals currently in the Federal Government...

There are quite a few Americans who spied for the reds in the fifties & sixties and still alive here in this country. Most are known by the FBI, CIA and Navy and Army intelligence services.
The excuse I hear is that their cases are too cold and not enough evidence or too expensive to convict now.
The real reason [imo] is there is no will to prosecute these cases by the pseudo politicians who run today's intelligence agencies. This is especially true of the Dept of Justice under Holder who probably feel arresting these old time traitors would be akin to arresting family members.

He may be sentenced up to 10 years in prison?

LOL

They should make it a life sentence...

10 years seems like a “For Show” sentence.

If it’s a life sentence it would represent the real crime.

Interesting. I used to work with a gentleman who was a colonel in the Czech military, though he was a specialist, being a chemical engineer. he is no longer with us, but I remeber that he said he had to make three escape attempts before he got out.

I’d love to know if he was a victim of this guy.

I only remember that he once escaped into Yugoslavia. They weren’t on the best of terms with either side at the time, so they sent him back to Czechoslavakia but didn’t tell them he had tried to escape.

Yep.

Besides which, too many of them are in the current government.

If by ‘our traitors’ you mean the ones rampant in the US now....unfortunately they will skate free forever

Nope.

We’ve had just about enough.

Just about.

This is interesting. Except for some East Germans, not many former Communist secret police officers have been prosecuted in the former Soviet bloc.
