Abstract
July 10, 1985, 18:27. István Belovai gets caught in action, while in the 6th district of Budapest, at the corner of Zsurló and Kővirág Street, he is taking up a package which was sent him by the CIA. The prosecution against him is quite serious: espionage as a member of foreign-intelligence agency and offence against foreign exchange management. The Military Court sentenced him to life imprisonment. Two versions of the Belovai case are known; according to the first theory, he is a hero who sacrificed his own existence to defend Hungary, and the other one is about a treasonable man who sold his home for financial interest in the hope of excellence and enrichment. In September 1990, Árpád Göncz gave Belovai Presidential pardon and as a result of this act his punishment reduced to 15 years with 5 years probation. After his release he started a passionate lobbying with the aim of proving his heroic version, however the judgement has not changed since the change of regime. In my discourse I am searching the answers for one exact question: The change of regime why has not given an opposite meaning for the assessment of „NATO-spies” like Belovai, and the rehabilitation in their case why could not have happened? After presenting some well-known stories, I attempt to answer my question by considering the aspects of law, policy, intelligence agencies and the characteristic of specific legal treatment.
