Any and all files on Desmond Patrick Costello
Desmond Patrick Costello (31 January 1912 – 23 February 1964) was a New Zealand linguist, soldier, diplomat, university professor who was accused of being an agent for the Soviet GRU and of having sparked the first in a series of spy scandals in the 1960s which brought down the Macmillan government in the UK.
Costello's MI5 file was released to the public in April 2017, but it fails to settle the issue of his supposed treachery.
