ILLEGAL PROGRAM - 10 Russian spies arrested on 28 June 2010

The Illegals Program, as it was called by the United States Department of Justice, was a network of Russian sleeper agents under non-official coverwhose investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) culminated in the arrest of ten agents and a prisoner swap between Russia and the United States on July 9, 2010.

The spies were planted in the United States by the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (known by its Russian abbreviation, SVR), and were the target of a multi-year investigation by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI investigation, called Operation Ghost Stories, culminated at the end of June 2010 with the arrest of 10 individuals in the U.S. and an eleventh suspect in Cyprus. Ten sleeper agents were charged with "carrying out long-term, 'deep-cover' assignments in the United States on behalf of the Russian Federation."

The suspect arrested in Cyprus skipped bail the day after his arrest. A twelfth person, a Russian national who had worked for Microsoft, was also apprehended about the same time and deported on July 13, 2010. The Moscow legal court documents made public on June 27, 2011, revealed that another two Russian agents had managed to flee the U.S. without being arrested.

Ten of the agents were flown on July 9, 2010, to Vienna soon after pleading guilty to charges of failing to register as a representative of a foreign government. The same day, the agents were exchanged for four Russian nationals, three of whom had been convicted and imprisoned by Russia on espionage (high treason) charges.

On October 31, 2011, the FBI publicly released several dozen still images, clips from surveillance video, and documents related to its investigation in response to Freedom of Information Actrequests.

 These individuals were purportedly working for the SVR on long term covert assignments in penetrating policy making circles in the United States government. An agent going by the name of Christopher Metsos is still being sought by the authorities; the agents arrested on 28 June 2010. Mereka memalsukan identiti dgn menggunakan nama lain & memalsukan dokumen. setiap drpd mereka saling berhubung tetapi tinggal di berlainan bandar serta negeri (juz a cover), majoriti telah berkahwin sesama mereka dan mempunyai 2 org anak. tinggal dikawasan kejiranan seperti orang awam yg lain. tetapi mereka secara senyap merisik dan menyampaikan maklumat secara rahsia (encryted msg) to russia. their in deep undercover mission selama bertahun2 (sehinggakan sudah berkeluarga) .menurut jiran suspek Patty Desimone "u can't be to sure who ur neighbour are" according to Louise Shallcross "their so nice family, their landscape nice family stuffs" on interview with AP (Associated Press)
