Industrial Theft Case Cracked Here

TL;DR — A 1983 newspaper clipping in CIA files on the theft of engineering drawings routed to the Soviet Union.

Cleveland Plain Dealer, 9 December 1983, retained in CIA files as CIA-RDP90-00552R000100260032-9.

A local-paper account of an industrial-espionage prosecution: engineering drawings and manufacturing equipment allegedly diverted to the Soviet Union through a chain of front orders.

The interesting thing is the filing, not the story — an ordinary regional crime report kept in intelligence archives, which is what a large part of that archive actually consists of.
