Coplon spy case ends as courts drop charges
Federal courts dropped charges against Judith Coplon in the 16 year old Soviet spy case after the Justice Department said the evidence was incompetent or too old to retry. Coplon and Soviet diplomat Valentin Gubitchev were previously convicted in New York and Washington. Gubitchev’s sentence was suspended due to diplomatic immunity, and Coplon’s fate was sealed by new rulings on illegal arrest.
