Ex-spy to leave Switzerland

The former spy Richard Tomlinson to leave Switzerland. The British government accuses him of spreading secrets about Britain’s foreign intelligence service MI6 in the Internet. But this would not be expelled, even the British government had exerted no pressure, Swiss official stressed.

After Tomlinson already been recorded from the USA, New Zealand, France and Great Britain, is the request of the Swiss authorities, a major blow for the 35 year old ex-spy. He continues to deny vehemently that we have set the list of names of the agents on the Internet. “My denials might sound a little implausible, because I’ve threatened to publish names on the Internet,” he said.

After being in the fall of 1997 several months because of secret treason in a British prison, because he had spread his memoirs on the Internet, Tomlinson lived most recently in Geneva.

The British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook had asked the British media in May not to publish the list of names, because human lives are in danger. In many newsgroups on the Internet, however, already circulated the list.
