THREE Czech generals, including a presidential staff member and a NATO representative, were forced to leave the army in 2009 after a Russian spy's contact with their offices, a Czech newspaper reported yesterday.
Czech military and counter-intelligence agents have increasingly highlighted Russian agents' presence in the central European NATO and European Union member, and this has been the biggest reported case of infiltration into the military.
Citing an unnamed source, daily Mlada Fronta Dnes said the Russian agent, a Czech state-employed psychologist known as Robert R, befriended a female army major, who had also studied psychology and worked as head of staff for the three army generals.
The generals worked as head of President Vaclav Klaus's Military Office, the Czechs' NATO representative in Europe, and a deputy general for the Chief of Staff.
The newspaper said it was not clear whether the army major worked for the Russian agent knowingly. The agent fled to Russia and the major finished in the army.
