In October of 2014 Udo Ulfkotte admitted in an interview on RT to taking bribes from the CIA and submitting articles that were purposefully pro-US. He claims that, like him, many journalists around the world are actually “non-official cover” which according to him is a term used by the Americans. Ulfkotte states that non-official cover means you work for an intelligence agency and help them but in an unofficial capacity. Hence if the journalist gets busted, the intelligence agency will deny their relationship to the journalist. Watch the interview below.
