Briton and Soviet Plead Guilty to Spying in Moscow Show Trial
British businessman Greville Wynne and Soviet official Oleg Penkovsky pleaded guilty to spying for Britain and the United States in a packed Moscow courtroom. Wynne admitted providing courier services, while Penkovsky faced high treason charges for gathering military and political information. Both face potential death penalties, though no foreigner is known to have been executed for espionage in the Soviet Union. The case named several Western embassy staffers as implicated. Wynne had made about eight trips to the USSR before his arrest in Hungary last November.
