 The Israel Security Agency (ISA), commonly known as the Shin Bet/SHABAK, has opened these days the documents on Colonel Shimon Levinzon, one of the KGB agents who worked in the protection service of the Prime Minister of Israel, INN reports. According to the INN website, SHABAK declassified a part of data on espionage activity of the former Colonel Shimon Levinzon in favour of the KGB in the 1980s. Levinzon has voluntary agreed to recruitment, having arrived to the Soviet embassy in Bangkok in 1983 where he appeared, working in the United Nations Fund for struggle against drug-dealing in Southeast Asia. He wished to sell the information on the Israel’s secret services for a large amount of money, $100,000, but the Soviet agents forced him to continue to work for them. Under their instruction, Levinzon tried to get into Mossad and even was assigned the chief of prime minister’s protection department. However he did no keep his post long as was dismissed because of insufficient efforts. According to INN, Levinzon earned $31,000, having sold the information on the management and departments of the Mossad foreign intelligence, counterespionage of SHABAK, the Nativ Bureau and military intelligence, AMAN. He also reported to the KGB on methods of transfer of confidential information by the Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and named officers of the US security services who worked as coordinators on cooperation with the intelligence services of Israel.

SHABAK notes that Levinzon caused very significant damage to Israel, having collaborated for seven years with the KGB. He was detained in 1991 shortly after he had decided to stop cooperation with the Soviet secret services as they paid quite a little. Having spent 8 years of 12 he was sentenced to, Levinzon has left Israel, according to INN.
