When Johanna van Haarlem contacted him, in 1977, believing him to be her real son, he was ordered to play along, in order not to blow his cover, and did so, even going so far as to visit her family in Holland.[1] As a result of this deception, she was not reunited with her real son until February 1992.[2] Eventually, Jelínek tired of working as a waiter, and, with funding from the StB, bought a flat at Silver Birch Close[3] in Friern Barnet, North London and set up as an art dealer.[2] He was eventually arrested in the flat on 22 April 1988, while in the process of receiving coded messages by radio.[2] His trial for espionage at London's Old Bailey opened on 6 February 1989 and was the first trial of a spy in the United Kingdom since 1961.[2] A Metropolitan Police officer said he was "probably the first person to be tried at the Old Bailey under an alias".[2] Among those to testify against him was Stella Rimington, using the alias "Miss J".[2] The jury returned a guilty verdict after just 45 minutes deliberation, and on 3 March 1989 he was sentenced to ten years imprisonment.[2] He was subsequently held at HM Prison Parkhurst.[1] While he was in Parkhurst, the 1989 Velvet Revolution saw the overthrow of communism in Czechoslovakia. On 1 January 1993, Czechoslovakia peacefully dissolved, with its constituent states becoming the independent states of the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Following an unsuccessful escape attempt and a period on hunger strike, as well as lobbying on his behalf by Czech diplomats, Jelínek was freed on the 5th April 1993 and deported to the Czech Republic.[2][4] In 2006, VPRO, a radio station in the Netherlands, ran a two-part programme about van Haarlem, called "{{lang|nl|Het Spoor Terug}}" (The trail back).[4] His memoirs, written up by {{Interlanguage link|Jaroslav Kmenta|WD=Q12023857}} were published in Czech in 2010, under the title {{lang|cs|Český špion Erwin van Haarlem}}.[2] As of 2016, Jelínek was living in Prague.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 {{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-38261956|title=The spy with no name|date=4 January 2017|work=BBC Online|accessdate=4 January 2017}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 {{Cite book|title=The Spy With No Name |first=Jeff |last=Maysh |authorlink=Jeff Maysh |publisher=Amazon |series=Kindle Singles |year=2017}} 3. ^{{Coord|51.6080|-0.1497|region:GB_type:landmark}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.simonmason.karoo.net/page70.html|title=Czech Mate|last=Mason|first=Simon|accessdate=4 January 2017}} Further reading
