The invisible line. Gheorghe Saramet Spy’s biography (II)

Summary/Abstract: The article seeks to explore and analyse the biography of Gheorghe „Gigi” Saramet, a secret agent used by the Romanian counterintelligence in different missions throughout late 40s and early 50s. His tasks were to identify certain aspects inside the country, but the main mission was an immense success for Bucharest: to infiltrate the The Exiled Romanian Officers` Intelligence Service (the secret service of the Romanian National Committee in exile) and to annihilate its networks inside the country. Although he accomplished extremely well the assignments and he was highly praised by his superiors, his vanity brought him down and transformed him into a political prisoner. However, his life after liberation was even darker and his paths are unclear which can only add the myth created around his name. Despite all the missing parts of his biography, Gheorghe `Gigi` Saramet stands as one of most intriguing figures of the Romanian spies that were active in the first years of the Cold War.
