Marcus Klingberg, Israeli who spied for Soviets, dies at 97
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleMarcus Klingberg, an Israeli scientist jailed for passing information on biological warfare to the Soviet Union, dies at 97.
Klingberg, who served in a senior position at a secretive Israeli biological research institute when he was arrested for spying, dies in Paris on Monday, according to his grandson, Ian Brossat.
Klingberg’s case, including his arrest and trial, was for years shrouded in secrecy. One Israeli newspaper once described Klingberg as the spy who caused the greatest damage to Israel.
“This is the type of story they write TV series or movies or captivating books about,” Avigdor Feldman, a lawyer who once represented Klingberg, tells Army Radio on Tuesday. “There aren’t many people like him.”
