Fatal Encounter
During the 60s Colonel Oleg Penkovsky , a senior Russian intelligence officer, had proved himself to be 'our spy of the century'. For 16 months he passed the Kremlin's vital secrets to MI6 and the CIA.
Suddenly the KGB arrested Penkovsky along with the British businessman Greville
Wynne. Their joint show trial abruptly terminated M16's precious asset. But how did the KGB find out about
Penkovsky's activities? For the first time the KGB investigators and Penkovsky's CIA case officers disclose the innermost secrets of the case, and reveal that they blame
MI6 for Penkovsky's demise. Reported by Tom Bower. Producer Tom Bower
