Man arrested in Georgia as a spy for Hungary

April 20, 1982

A Hungarian-born man, Otto Atilla Gilbert, of Forest Hills, N.Y., was arrested on federal espionage charges and accused of trying to acquire military secrets on behalf of the Hungarian intelligence service. Federal authorities refused to say whether the spying charges involved Fort Gordon, an Army post in Augusta, or the Savannah River Plant, which produces weapons-grade nuclear material across the border in South Carolina.
