Georges Pâques (29 January 1914 – 19 December 1993) was a French civil servant and spy. He was the deputy head of NATO's press service until he was arrested in 1963 for passing secret information to the Soviet Union.[1][2]
A five-member jury convicted him in Paris and sentenced him to life imprisonment; he was freed after seven years in prison.[3][4]
