In espionage jargon, a mole (also called a "penetration agent", "deep cover agent", "illegal" or " sleeper agent") is a long-term spy (espionage agent) who is recruited before having access to secret intelligence, subsequently managing to get into the target organization. However, it is popularly used to mean any long-term clandestine spy or informant within an organization (government or private). In police work, a mole is an undercover law-enforcement agent who joins an organization in order to collect incriminating evidence about its operations and to eventually charge its members.

Le Carré, a former British intelligence officer, said that the term "mole" was actually used by the Soviet intel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
