Coplon denies spying claims in Amtorg case trial
Coplon testified that Coplon gave Miss Coplon three papers described as hot and interesting and told her to hand them to an attorney after viewing them. She said Foley urged her to take notes and bring them to New York to assist with the Amtorg matter over the weekend amid an ongoing justice department probe of the trading agency. Prosecutors portrayed the defendant as an advocate for prosecuting Amtorg for failure to register as a foreign agent. Miss Coplon ended seven days of testimony by declaring her innocence and claiming she had been framed. If convicted on both counts, she faces up to 13 years in prison and a $12,000 fine. She and Gubitchev also face espionage conspiracy charges in New York.
