WASHINGTON DC, April 16 – RAPSI. US authorities are selling the family home of Vladimir and Lydia Guryev, better known as Richard and Cynthia Murphy, two deep-cover Russian intelligence operatives who were arrested alongside Anna Chapman and other foreign nationals as part of an FBI bust in 2010, the US Marshals Service announced.

The Guryevs were arrested along with nine other individuals suspected of conspiring to act as unregistered agents of a foreign government and conspiring to commit money laundering in June 2010. In their initial complaint, US prosecutors claimed that the suspects were part of Russia’s spy ring.

The US Marshals release announcing the property sale describes the couple as follows: “Richard and Cynthia Murphy were the names used by the two Russian spies who lived in the Montclair house. FBI Agents and analysts watched these and eight other deep-cover operatives for years as they established themselves in the U.S. and went about leading seemingly normal lives — getting married, buying homes, raising children and assimilating into American society.”

The Guryevs and most of their co-accused pleaded guilty after being arrested. As part of the plea deal, they were ordered to disclose their true identities and to forfeit certain assets, according to a 2012 US Department of Justice National Security Division budget report. The US and Russia than agreed to a Cold War style spy swap in Vienna, where the accused were exchanged for four individuals who had been detained in Russia for having allegedly worked with Western intelligence agencies.

Assets seized included those associated with their criminal offenses. The US Marshals Service is charged with managing and selling assets seized by the US federal government in connection with criminal proceedings. Proceeds from such sales are then put toward victim compensation, law enforcement initiatives, and community programs.

The house is listed at $444,900. It was built in 1950 and features four bedrooms, one and a half baths, a refurbished kitchen, garage, and unfinished basement.
