The Swingers - Karl and Hana Koecher (Jonna Mendez)

Karl and Hana Koecher came to the West as defectors, but in reality he was a Czech intelligence officer and KGB spy, and his wife Hana was a courier for Czech intelligence. Karl became a translator for the CIA and used his top secret clearance to steal documents. Together they used the swinging lifestyle of the 1970s to gain intimate access to useful people and gather other valuable information—one swingers’ club that they belonged to had at least 10 CIA staff in the membership. Jonna Mendez, former CIA chief of disguise and recipient of the CIA’s Intelligence Commendation Medal, will reveal the Koecher’s extramarital espionage exploits. Enjoying our programs?
