According to journalists, Hansen is known as one of the most destructive spies in US history. In 2002, he was sentenced to life imprisonment. The exagent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the United States, which worked for the Russian Federation, Robert Hansen died at the age of 79 at a strict regime in Florence, Colorado. About it reports the BBC on June 5.

According to the authors of the publication, Hansen has the reputation of one of the most pretty spies in the history of the United States. For his activity, he received $ 1. 4 million in cash, diamonds and money that came to his Russian accounts. With access to secret information, in 1985 Hansen began to supply the USSR information, and later - the Russian Federation. In correspondence with his curators, he used the nickname "Ramon Garcia".

As noted in the FBI, it "compromised numerous human sources, methods of counterintelligence, investigation, dozens of secret government documents and technical operations for extreme importance and value. " It is reported that three hundred American agents worked on Hansen's exposure. To lure him to the FBI headquarters for careful observation, he was given a false task. In 2002, he was sentenced to life imprisonment for espionage.

Recall that on June 2, the Daily Star released material about Melit Norwood, which issued the KGB state secrets of the British Nuclear Weapon Development Program. The woman was considered to be even more valuable for the USSR than the infamous "Cambridge Five".
