Suspecting Artamonov of playing a double game, the KGB leadership decides to lure him to the USSR. In 1975, it was reported that the issue of his pardon had finally been resolved. Under the pretext of a meeting with an illegal immigrant, the KGB was lured to Vienna, sedated with chloroform in a car and driven in handcuffs to the poorly guarded Austrian-Czech border.
