On July 14, 1978, the Soviet media reported that a military court had sentenced to death Filatov for espionage for a foreign country. A later report said he had been executed. "After supplying invaluable information to the CIA for years, according to the story, Filatov's identity allegedly was exposed by someone in Washington." Filatov was either a code clerk in the Soviet Foreign Ministry, recruited by the CIA while serving at a Soviet embassy abroad, or a Soviet official recruited abroad.
